I tried to get firefox 3.6 at start but everytime i type a certain url in the address bar and press enter, it won't load. I always needed to click the go button using my mouse.

I tried IE and GC but they both load all websites when I press enter. Just inconvenient to always click the go button instead of just hitting the enter button :(

Chosen solution

This issue can be caused by an (AVG) extension that isn't working properly.

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

Thanks a lot :)

I found the AVG add ons under extensions and disabled one of them. I restarted firefox and it did load the sites properly when i hit enter :D

Thanks again for helping!
