When double-checking redirects, I used to be able to hold escape and click on any link. Firefox would break the click AND show me the redirect in the address bar. Since I've updated to 3.6.7 I no longer have this functionality. IE8 functions this way, and it really is a lightning fast way to check redirects (instead of having to open up other programs like Fiddler or a Flash Tracer).

Is there a setting in 3.6.7 that re-enables this functionality? Currently when I escape+click a link the address bar remains blank the entire time.

Such a feature isn't standard in Firefox so it must have been added by an extension that isn't working properly.
