441502 - Enter key stops working in Location bar = no way to go to websites!

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 376084

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Daniel Käsmayr]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0

After some browsing the location bar gets a hickup: the enter key does no longer open the entered URL. Auto complete works, you can still select a URl with the mouse, etc. 

But now there is no way to actually GO to the entered/selected URL.

Fixed only by closing the whole browser window.

This behavior has been observed by me in FF 2 for both MacOSX and WinXP, as well as in the current final FF3 both in MacOSX and WinXP.

Does it work in safe-mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode_(Firefox)
