The enter key to login pages no longer works in Firefox 5

After upgrading to Firefox 5 hitting the enter key after entering my password on login page does nothing. Before it would submit the page. This was a problem with the beta, too, and I had to downgrade to 4 to fix it. That works fine in 4.

Yes, this is a stupid behaviour. I have it too. Also, in textboxes it doesn't give me new line.
The form sending you can solve via hitting Ctrl + Enter.

Nope, I doubt it. As I said:
I disabled Aero theme, checked font scaling was 100% and rebooted Windows in between all of the steps to no avail.
I've been reading a lot around this and it seems the arrow key problem is a red herring; I think it's just some kind of terminal preferences corruption.

Clearing the history causes the enter key and search button not to work

If I clear my history and set my browser to never remember or suggest websites, the search button doesn't work. I can click on it but nothing happens. In addition, if I simply use the enter key from my keyboard, that doesn't work either. I have to reset firefox and then the new version will work (but if I go back and change all my history settings again and then it stops working). Please help.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

The visitor counter on my website no longer works on Firefox but still works in ME. How do I fix it?

I have a free visitor counter (by easycounter.com) on my website. It has been working fine in both Firefox (3.6.16) and MS Internet Explorer.
Yesterday, I noticed it no longer works with Firefox but still fine with MS IE.
Earlier in the week I did download a few add-ons recommended by Firefox.
Can anyone advise what the problem might be and how to fix it? The code for the counter is still intact on my page at www.qsl.net/ve3bdb.
Thanks in advance.
Incidentally, the page now takes forever to load when using MS IE, but I don't know if that's related.

No problems here with that visited counter on your website.
Which extensions did you install?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

THE LINKS AT THE TOP OF ANY WEB PAGE NO LONGER WORK. wHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS

WITHIN THE LAST FEW DAYS NO MATTER WHAT WEBSITE I GO TO THE LINKS IN THE BANNER OR TOP PORTION OF THE PAGE DO NOT WORK. THE SYSTEM DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW THAT THEY ARE LINKS WHEN I HOVER OVER THEM I GET THE MOUSE ARROW ICON INSTEAD OF THE HAND LIKE I DO ON ALL OTHER LINKS ON THE PAGE. THE LINKS ON THE SIDES AND BOTTOM OF THE PAGE WORK JUST FINE. WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS?

That is a problem with the Yahoo! Toolbar.

My finger print scanner for logging on to web pages no longer works in firefox 4

My laptop has a finger print scanner that manages passwords. You scan your finger to log on to various pages or accounts instead of typing in the log in information. It worked flawlessly in the older version of Firefox, but since upgrading to Firefox 4 it no longer works. I checked and it still works with Windows.

Is the a Digital Persona fingerprint scanner, also used in teh HP SimplePass Identity Manager? If do the company that make the bioscanner have abandoned it. For more details see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/799388

The Shockwave for Director plugin is no longer working in Firefox 7 for mac

Dear Firefox,
I run a website which uses Adobe's Shockwave for Director plugin to view an animation. This plugin worked perfectly in Firefox for mac, up until Firefox 7. Firefox now sees it only as an unknown added plugin and the animation can no longer open. I have the latest plugin version installed from Adobe, which works fine in Firefox 7 for windows, in Safari (mac, win) and Internet Explorer (win). The Flash plugin is also working fine.
In the preference panel, I have allowed Adobe to install plugins. Do I need to change other settings? Is something stopping Firefox for mac from properly loading the plugin?
Many thanks for your help.

Have you tried this one?

The "Clear Search History" feature in the upper right drop-down menu no longer works in Firefox 4.

The "Clear Search History" feature in the upper right drop-down menu that shows search terms no longer seems to work in Firefox 4.

It is possible that there is a problem with the file that stores the "Saved Form" data. 
Rename or delete formhistory.sqlite (plus formhistory.sqlite-journal and formhistory.sqlite.corrupt and formhistory.dat, if they exist) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case there is a problem with the file that stores the "Saved Form" data. 
This will remove all saved form data, so you may want to rename formhistory.sqlite to formhistory.sqlite.sav or move the file to another folder in case you need to recover some saved data.
You may also need to delete search.sqlite and search.json in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]

Why doesn't the enter key respond when saving a web page?

go to save a web page, complete and when i press the enter key it doesn't work. i have to move the mouse pointer to the save button and click it that way but it slower this way. why won't it let me just push the enter button on my keyboard to save?
any way to fix this?

The '''Save''' button has focus in the Save As window for me, and hitting either Enter or S will work.
But if I change the File name or select a different file Type I have to use the mouse to save it; the focus is away from the Save button.
If it doesn't work that way for you, see how it works when using the '''Firefox SafeMode'''.

After 2/5/2012 update to 10.0, the enter key no longer functions on the URL bar. (Running Windows 7 Home Premium on 64 bit Intel Core i3)

The URL line accepts text, but using the "Enter" key generates no response. The right arrow at the end of the URL line will take me to the URL.

Create record by the enter key

I have a form with 10 items. Looks like this
P16_ID hidden
P16_Created_on Date Picker
P16_Order_No Text Field
P16_Origin Display as Text(saves state)
P16_Destination Display as Text(saves state)
P16_Bill_To_Location Display as Text(save state)
P16_Rate Text Field
P16_Code Select List
P16_Carrier Select List
P16_Weight Text Field(always submits page when enter pressed)
I want the people to be able to key in the information and after the weight hit enter and it submits the page. Then it allows you to key in your next loads then when you get to weight hit enter again and so on. I do not want to have to use the create button because that takes longer to key the information in when you have to take your hands off of the keyboard and click create. The problem I keep getting is a branching error and the always submit page when enter pressed don't seem to work. I have version 1.6. Please help

I believe that APEX submits a page when the enter key is press by default. However, I noticed that when you have a hidden field present in the form you get the branching error message. .
If you change your hidden fields to regular text fields, this will take care of the problem. Of course, this may not be the best on your form, showing your ID on a regular text field.
I am not sure if APEX developers intended to have it like this or if this is a bug.
I hope this helps.

CL_ICF_SYSTEM_LOGIN - Enter Key to Login

Hi,
Please help. Thanks.
We are upgrading our system from 46C to ECC6 and our web portal needs to be changed to have a customized login screen using the class - CL_ICF_SYSTEM_LOGIN. We have copied the HTML codes over to HTM_LOGIN and it is working. However, the old web portal seems to have set focus on the Logon button and therefore when press the Enter key, it will login. But the new web portal cannot seems to set focus on the Logon button and therefore pressing the Enter key is not working. I checked the HTML codes in the old system and I cannot find any codes to set focus on the Logon button and therefore not sure why the old system is auto set cursor on the button.
I have tried many ways and still failed to make the Enter key work. Any ideas to help? Thanks in advance.

Hi Janet,
Have you tried this [Wiki|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=22219]?

Since upgrading to Firefox 10.0.2 my AVG extension has had to be disabled, as after typing in any web address in the address bar, the enter key had no effect and I could not go to the site without pressing the Reload arrow on right.

I have recently upgraded Firefox to the latest version 10.0.2. After that I could not enter any website address and press the enter key and get to the website, nor could I select a website from the dropdown list of previously visited websites. The only way I could get there was by pressing the arrow on the right side of the address box (Reload current page). Once I disabled the AVG extension, everything worked normally. As soon as I enabled the AVG extension, it stopped working again.

Follow these steps for the controls to work:
# Start > Programs > Mozilla Firefox > Mozilla Firefox
# Find the “Tools” menu at the top of the browser window and select “Add-ons”.
# Click on the “Extensions” icon to make sure you’re in the correct option menu.
# Locate “AVG Safe Search” and click on the containing line to highlight and select the add-on.
# Click the “Disable” button and close the Add-ons window.
# Close down any Firefox windows you may have open.
# That’s It – You’re Done!

When I type an address in the location bar and hit Enter nothing happens. I must click the arrow button at the end of the location bar. How do I fix it so that the Enter key works?

When I type a web address in the location bar and hit enter nothing happens. In order to go to the website I've typed in, I must click the arrow button at the end of the location bar. How do I make it so that hitting the enter key takes me to the web page.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Since Firefox 4 Beta installed an update

The AVG addon seems to have caused the problem for me. I had it disabled and everything worked. Then I updated to AVG 2011 and the problem occurred. It seems to have reenabled itself after the update.
Just disabling it solved the problem.

Using Win 7 Pro, 64-bit OS SP1 w/ all updates; after upgrading to Firefox 21.0 the serch field in the middle of the Mozilla Firefox Start Page no longer works.

I can type in the search field. Clicking the mouse on the search button or hitting the "Enter" key has no effect. Search from the Firefox address bar or the search window at the top of Firefox browser still works normally. Never encountered this problem before. Have been using Firefox since it first came out.

Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
Current Firefox versions use the default search engine (pref: browser.search.defaultenginename) to set the search engine that is used on the about:home page.
Check the browser.search.defaultenginename pref on the about:config page and make sure that it is set to the default value Google.
*browser.search.defaultenginename
Currently selected search engine:
*browser.search.selectedEngine
