The "Enter" key is not working on the address bar of my just installed Firefox 4. Restarted firefox, restarted machine, but the problem still exists. Any ideas?

The AVG Safe Search extension has been reported to cause this issue.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Thanks for the heads up Cor-el. First Grisoft took a little too long to release a Firefox 4 compatible version of their extensions and now this. Perfect.

Update: Hmm, this is odd but it only appears to be affecting Firefox 4 on my laptop. Both my desktop PC and Laptop run Firefox 4.0.1 and AVG Safe Search 10.0.0.1209.

Update 2: AVG's update system really stinks, it used to download all updates including Program updates directly but it hasn't been updating. Downloaded the latest installer and did a repair, it both upgraded to the latest version and fixed the aforementioned enter key issue.
