result) produce different results.
Actual Results:  
Sign-up page loads on hitting enter.

Expected Results:  
Search results page should load.

Confirming in both Firefox and Mozilla. The form action is preview.aspx so I'm
not sure how Enter picks up signup.aspx from another table element.

Not form manager though, just forms.

probably related to (or duplicate of) bug 253704.

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

The issue here is that Mozilla treats an enter as equivalent to a click on the
first submit or image input in the form.  That is NOT the "go" button in this
case.  And the site redirects based on what button was clicked, treating "no
buttons clicked" as "search".

See the tons of discussion in bug 156683.
