I use Firefox 35 on ubuntu14.10. And I just suddenly occured this problem yesterday. When I want to submit my comment, I pressed enter. But it just add a newline instead of submit it. I've tryed to disable all extenstion, and it seem didn't work. I've check my update log. My Firefox and input method didn't update these day. There only flash plugin update, but I don't think it cause problem. If I use input method(hime) to type chinese, I even hardly to type in. I am using extenstion, "vimperator". If I just disable it, I can submit my comment. But comment will contain all the word that I have typed in text field, contain the word I have delete. How to fix it. Thanks.

Please post the web address. If the input box accepts <Enter> as part of the input, there should be a submit button, normally just under the input box.

Well, after I turn off Hardward Acceleration and Vimperator. It's work. Thanks. But I like Vimperator, it useful. It there other way to solve it without disable Vimperator. Or maybe I just submit an issue to its author and wait for it update. Thanks again. I chose you as solution.
