Enter key doesn't work when typing in url

I recently updated my Firefox to 4.0. And now, when I type in url's into the location bar, I can no longer press enter on my keyboard to launch the website. I have to go up to the green arrow to make it go to the webpage. But when I launch firefox in safe mode, without any of the add-ons enabled, it works. I've tried disabling all the add-ons while normally using firefox but it doesn't work still. I've even uninstalled, and re-installed firefox to see if it would help but it still doesn't work.

yep it's the AVG add-on. stupid thing to troubleshoot.

  • 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

  • [Enter] key won't work when installing Windows...

    I went to install Windows XP today and once I get to the screen where it tells me to hit the enter key to start windows, my keyboard doesn't work. I was able to hit F6 earlier in the installation, so it works early on during the installation, but once I get the prompt to hit enter, nothing. Last time I installed Windows I used an external keyboard, but I'm without one. I may have to borrow one and try again.
    Has this happened to anyone else?
    Bryan

    Solved it! Unplug all your USB devices. For some reason, my keyboard stopped working because I had USB devices connected during the install. Once I removed all devices, I restarted it, and was able to hit the enter key and continue. Some 5 hours later I had XP Pro installed with all updates.

  • Enter key doesn't work after upgrade to 3.6.7

    after upgrade to 3.6.7: enter key won't activate address in location bar, nor in search engine bar, 'green arrow' in location bar doesn't work, adds ons, plugins, ext, are all empty,
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I upgraded to 3.6.7

    AVG extensions can cause this issue.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />

  • Some of my iPhone (3G) Keys Don't Work When Typing a Text/E-Mail/Note/Etc.

    So today I ran down to the apple store (for the 3rd day in a row) to get a new iPhone 3G since my previous one had a hardware problem. Just to let everyone know, the problem wasn't my fault so don't say something like be more careful.
    Anyways, I got the new iPhone and took it home. I restored it from my last backup. So I go and send a text to a friend to tell him that I went out and got it. Now when I try and send this text, I can't use the "S" key, the "E" key, the "W" key, or the "." period key on the phone. I've tried restoring, restarting, hard rebooting, etc. I just can't figure out how to get it to work.
    I'm NOT running out of my way for the 4TH DAY IN A ROW to go back down to the apple store for them to annoy me again. I honestly loved apple before all the flaws with my products. Now its just getting old.
    Back on topic, any idea what to do?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • My 'enter' key doesn't work in the web-adress bar

    It just acts like I didn't press the key at all!
    I've even tried the virtual keyboard!
    Please help me

    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).

  • Alt Key Doesn't Work With Tools

    Suddenly the Alt key doesn't work with Clone and other Tools. When it's pressed, it shows a double arrow (black/white)cursor and a selection is not defined.
    I did a forum search and found this
    Q: My Alt key doesn´t work when using the Clone, Lasso, Magnifyer.. Tool.
    A:
    Some programs and utilities takes control of the Alt key when installed.
    GuruNet (Atomica) and FlySwat are two of these applications. Uninstall them and re-claim the Alt-key, and all should be fine.
    ...but these programs are not on my PC. Plus, the Alt key works fine in other programs. I'm using CS.
    I'm desperate to fix this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Dear Awe,
    >Crumbs in the board?
    Thank you!!! My first thought on reading your msg was "You gotta be kidding". Then, "well, why not". So I did it and it worked. Amazing. Learn something new every day. In 18+ years of computer use I never had this problem (I've had lots of dirty keyboards, but never this problem). Must have been a big crumb. The only mystery though is why the key worked ok in another program. Anyway, a thousand thanks.
    John, thank you for your reply too. I looked in the Regional Settings but couldn't find anything re keyboard mapping. I'm using XP.
    Best Regards,
    CJ

  • Enter key does not work with MSTSC

    I have SQL Develoepr 1.0.0.15.57 installed on a Windows Server 2003 (Ver. 5.2 SP 1). I use Microsoft Terminal Services Client (mstsc.exe) to get to that server from a Windows XP Professional (ver. 5.1 SP 1) box.
    When I use mstsc to get to the server and launch SQL Develoeper, it works...mostly. But the <enter> key does nothing. I've tried changing the line terminator (tools/preferences/line terminator) from "Platfor Dependant" to "Windows CR/LF" but that has no effect.
    The encoding is set to cp1252 which is the same as my local version on the XP Pro box (both 1.0.0.15 and the new beta 1.1.0.21) which work fine.
    Any ideas why the enter key would not work when using mstsc from an XP box to a Windows Server 2003 box?
    Thanks,
    Shelby

    Look in Tools| Preferences | Accelerators and see if you have a key defined for 'insert new line'.
    If you haven't, try restoring the default accelerators

  • Default Gateway doesn't work when entered in address bar

    I'm trying to get to my router's settings. The default IP address of my router (192.168.1.1) doesn't work when I enter it in the address bar. Neither does the Default Gateway that I got from clicking on start, run, typing cmd and then ipconfig/all. Does anybody know how I can access my router settings without resetting it?

    That seems to be the modem default gateway... is your PC connected to the modem via a USB cable? (sometimes that might be the case)... or what port of the router is your modem connected to?

  • I am locked out of my account because my password includes "[" and my computer is set to spanish. In spanish that key doesn't work. How do I gejt back into my computer?

    i am locked out of my account because my password includes "[" and my computer is set to spanish. In spanish that key doesn't work. How do I gejt back into my computer?

    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:

  • Left shift key doesn't work on some characters

    In some applications, such as Excel and AOL, my left shift key doesn't work on some letters. Consequently, when I'm typing I get lower case letters when I've typed shift plus the letter to get a cap. Right shift works OK, but I'm not used to using it. It happens on i, t, and p, I've noticed so far. I don't know if it's the keyboard or the application. Word seems to work fine.
    Would welcome any ideas on what is causing this and how to fix it.

    Is it possible that you have inadvertently switched to a different keyboard layout? Open System Preferences, then click on the Language & Text preferences. Within the Language & Text preferences click on the 'Input Sources'. You should see a long list of languages representing the various keyboard layouts that are available. Make sure that only the keyboard language you use is selected. If there are multiple languages selected then de-select the extras.
    If you continue to have problems then check the 'Show input menu in menu bar' checkbox in the lower section of the preference pane. This will place an icon in the upper right menu bar (it looks like a flag representing the language you have chosen for your input device) that provides additional options. I suggest selecing the 'Show Keyboard Viewer' option and then try pressing the keys that you are having problems with to see how they show up on the keyboard viewer graphic. If you've set the correct language for your keyboard and the key sequences still don't match, then you may need to take your keyboard in for service. Better yet, borrow another keyboard to confirm that the keyboard is the issue.

  • The enter key is not working in firefox but it has working fine in chrome and IE so please help me to rid out from this.

    The enter key is not working in firefox but it has working fine in chrome and IE so please help me to rid out from this.

    Hello gokulaan, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • How do I delete items in my calendar when it doesn't work when I hover them over the trash can?

    How do I delete items in my calendar when it doesn't work when I hover them over the trash can?

    There are several ways
         - Selecting the event and hitting the "delete" key on your keyboard (as Wayne Contello said)
         - Selecting the event and opening the "edit" dropdown menubar item, and then selecting "delete"
         - Selecting the event and right clicking, then selecting "cut" (this option puts the event on your clipboard)

    The sleep key doesn't work on my HP SK-2061 wireless keyboard.  How do I get it to work?

    Hello @SunLovinGran,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I have read your post on how your wireless keyboard's sleep key doesn't work. Is your computer able to enter sleep mode by itself after a certain period of time? Are you able to enable sleep mode using a different keyboard?
    In the meantime, I recommend following the steps in this document on Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Troubleshooting. This should help diagnose any possible issue with how keys or buttons are input using your keyboard. 
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!
