Pressing enter after typing URL no longer loads webpage, fix?
It used to be that all you had to do was type half a URL or the whole thing and press enter and the web page would load, now pressing enter does not work, how do I fix this?

Pressing Enter in the address bar doesn't work
The AVG Safe Search extension is causing an issue where pressing Enter when trying to go to a website does not work. You have to click the green go arrow instead. Until this is resolved you can work around this issue by disabling the extension:
At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
- In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.
- Click Disable button next to the AVG Safe Search extension to disable it.
- Click Restart Firefox.
