Ctrl+E and Ctrl+K to focus search bar now add "? " before caret. How to fix that?
For example I'm on "https://www.google.fr/", I type the shortcut and the search bar becomes "? " with caret at the end.
(My address bar and search bar are the same)

Hi arkay38:
I am on Windows 10 Firefox 64, and I don't see this problem. You appear to be on Firefox 65 beta, so maybe it's something changed in Firefox 65 beta?
Things you can try:
- disabling all Firefox Add-ons: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/disable-or-remove-add-ons
- Firefox Safe Mode: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode
If you have the time, please post a video showing this problem.
Happy Holidays! ...Roland

Hi Roland,
Thank you for your reply! Indeed I checked in the non developer version of Firefox and Ctrl+E works normally, so you may be right, it has to be something changed in the beta. I'll report the bug at bugzilla.mozilla.org
Have good holidays! Victor
Try Ctrl + L :)

Ah, that is for the location bar (address bar/URL bar). Ctrl+e and Ctrl+k are for the separate (optional) Search Bar.
Oh, they both are the same for me.
Edit: OP stated it's the same for them as well.
