I can not open sites from the address line in Firefox, it does not react to Enter.

I enter address to the address line, then press Enter button, either from key-board, or the Enter button on the right of the address line, and then nothing happens. I still have the address in the address line, but sites do not open and nothing at all happens. If I enter site address into the search engine, I have no problems in opening sites. I do not have problems with opening sites from Bookmarks.

That issue can be caused by an 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).
