    Browser issue driving me insane


    I could just be dumb but when I type in the address bar to go to a site i have to click the green arrow to be able to go to the sire rather than be able to hit the enter/return key. Is there any way to fix this so that every time I want to change pages I dont have to keep clicking the green arrow to change pages and I can use my keyboard like a normal civilised person???

    Also I'm using Friefox v4.0 if that helps.

    Welcome to Seven Forums sdk13. You might try reinstalling FF, as the enter method should work. See the instructions here:

    Uninstalling Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base

    Take note of this warning:
    Starting in Firefox 3, the uninstaller includes the option, "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations". This will also remove your Firefox user profile data (bookmarks, passwords, cookies, extensions, preferences, etc.). DO NOT select this option if you want to keep your Firefox profile data and settings.
    You may have a corrupted profile, and need to delete it:

    As it turned out it was an AVG safe search add on in Firefox restricting me. All I had to do was go to Tools - Add Ons - Extensions and disable the AVG safe search.
