Enter button doesn't work in address bar.

After inputting a site address in the address bar, either through typing or from the history/autocomplete, pressing enter does not send me to the page, and I have to manually click the go button on the right.
Disabling all my plugins didn't make any difference.

That issue can be caused by the AVG Safe Search extension.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How to fill out the clipboard under "about:support" when enter button does not work in address bar? Thearrow button does not work either?

My enter btton does not work in the address bar or search engine. I have done the restart in safe mode...deleted and reinstalled firefox...done the malware/adware checks...still no improvement.
I was asked to do the "about:support" then click enter for the clipboard to paste the system notes into. That is not an option however because the orginal problem is the enter button not working. Ideas?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

Copy/Paste doesn't work in Address Bar and Smart Search Field

Yeah, that's true. Say, I copied a sentence from a site. When I try to paste that sentence into 'Smart Search Field' and press 'Enter'. It doesn't work! Same thing happens when I try to paste a URL into Address Bar/Smart Address Field. What's going on? Anyone else having this problem?
PS - In case you're wondering what 'Smart Search Field' is, here's a pic http://images.apple.com/safari/images/features-search-smartsearch-20090528.jpg

Yes, I've got that too. It's not clear why it hits some people and not others. Haven't seen any commonalities among the reports that I can tell at the moment.

Enter key no longer works in address bar

Hi, In the last couple of days, the enter key no longer works in the address bar, which is really annoying !
If I type the address I want to go to, and then hit "enter", nothing happens. I have to manually click on the "go to" icon to the right of the bar.
Is this a setting I can change back please, I certainly haven't done it knowingly or willingly, and it is really spoiling my web use on FF. I am on 3.6.13.
Cheers !

Thanks cor-el, that was exactly the problem, all solved now, thanks for your help !

Enter key no longer works in address bar after up dating to firefox 10

I up dated fire fox to ver.10 last night and since then the enter key will not work in the address bar

This might be caused by a broken add-on, like the AVG browser extension. Try disabling add-ons by following the instructions at '''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''.

Enter button doesn't work at all help!

The enter key on my Macbook Air does not work at all anymore. I did not do anything differently and nothing happened to it - no spill, did not drop the laptop - nada. I have reset everything to defaults, open the key and clean under it. I am really hoping that it is not a hardware problem - but to ensure that it isnt I need to wear out ALL possible software problem. ANY SUGGESTIONS? please and thank you.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Since the Font Book application crashes try deleting its preference file, com.apple.FontBook.plist from your User/Library/Preferences folder. Then try again.

My enter key doesn't work in the address bar so I can't manually enter URLs

This is actually on my wife's computer but, apparently she recently upgraded to 3.6.13 and now the enter key doesn't work in the address bar. I can enter a URL but can never go to it because the enter key is totally non functional in the address bar. Chrome works fine and other apps work fine. The enter key works here in this text box and in the search area but not in the address bar. Weird huh!

In my Windows 7 64, my Java was update, but dissabling AVG search and restarting the problem was solved
Thanks a lot

Since replacing hard drive, "restore previous session" button doesn't work, can only do it through history tab. Also will not start up from task bar icon.

Hi, been using Firefox for some years, had to replace hard drive recently and re loaded Firefox. Since then, the restore previous session button doesn't work, but I can do it from the History tab. Also Firefox itself won't start from the task bar or desktop, only the start menu.
Using Windows XP

This function may not be available for mobile yet. You can put your suggestions to the [[Suggestion Box]]. Thanks!

My iPod 5th generation won't turn on and my middle button doesn't work

My ipod 5th generation won't turn on and my middle button doesn't work! What will I do? It all starmed when I updated iOS 8.

Volume and Power button doesn't work..how do I fix?

My son's volume buttons or the power button doesn't work. Is there something I can do to fix these issues?

Try the following to rule out a software problem.
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Can't Add Credit Card (submit button doesn't work)

Hey. Recently come across a problem trying to add my credit card so I could buy a Twitter app that works with Twitters new authorization.
The submit button doesn't work. It is still there, but it is unclickable, it doesn't load up anything, or do anything. It doesn't change to being clickable at any time.
If it helps, I have the Palm Pre, I'm with O2 (UK).
Can anyone help?
Post relates to: Pre p100ueu (O2)

This sounds like a credit card related issue. Has anything about your credit card changed, like a new expiration data? You can go to App Catalog, tap the drop-down menu, select Preferences and Accounts, then choose the account name, enter your profile password, tap continue, When the Edit Credit Card screen appears, re-enter the credit card number and confirm that the remaining info is valid or enter any new information, then submit.

The screen doesn't work except on the bottom and i cant reboot it because my power button doesn't work, The screen doesn't work except on the bottom and i cant reboot it because my power button doesn't work
