There should be a Go button just to the right of the URL textbox in the browser.
 When you find URL's in text/mail/news that don't have an http: in front, they
are not hot, so you have to select/copy them with the mouse and transfer them
into the browser URL textbox. Since this is all done with the mouse, it is very
inconvenient to have to resort to the keyboard just to press Enter.  There
should be a Go button for launching the URL once you have put it in the textbox.
 I remember wanting this for years in IE and they finally put it in without me
saying anything :-).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Paste URL in browser URL texbox
2. Search around for some way to actually launch that URL with the mouse.
3. Drop mouse and press Enter

Actual Results:  Frustration

Expected Results:  Ability to launch URL with mouse: a Go button

Just enable it in your preferences. (Edit-Preferences->Navigator->Select the
buttons...)

This bug was just an oversight of the existing Go button checkbox in preferences.
