Hello, after last actualisation of Firefox, some months ago, Enter/Key is not working. And not only for Firefox for all the laptop and other programs. It's Windows. I tried deleting Firefox and re-installing, also safe mode, English and Spanish... and still not working... :-/ Any idea? :-/

Hello enterkey,

Could you (for now) use the on-screen keyboard, and use the Enter key there (if it works ... ), till it's clear what is causing the problem  ? (sounds like a broken Enter key .... )

Thanks. Of course I thought about a broken key, but the think is that both keys Intro and Enter stopped working after re-installing Firefox. that's why I think there's something...

I've never heard of an ' Intro key' ..... (?) Could it be that you're talking about the Windows logo key  ?

The Windows logo key (also known as Windows key, Winkey, start key, logo key, flag key, super key, command key or flag)

Have you tried the on-screen keyboard, to see if they'll work  ? And if they do : follow FredMcD's suggestions  ?

Hello. Sorry. Yes, well, I mean Enter/Return/Intro... what I mean is that there are 2 keys: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enter_key#/media/File:Enter.png Thanks for your reply. So, I have used this screen-keyboard, thanks, and did the system check FredMcD said. I did run it and it says everything is ok. Still, however, enter key not working yet :-/

Would you try this please :

Open the Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and make sure that no applications are running. Then try the Enter key again ….

Done it. Nothing else running. Still enter key not working. I am sure it has to do with the Firefox update I did. Because it's when it started not working :-/

Does this mean that the Enter key works when you use i.e. Edge (or another browser)  ?

If so : do you have any add-ons installed  ?

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?

No, Enter key doesn't work. With any program. Just after updating Firefox, Enter key stopped working, for all the computer, for all the programs. Add-ons: I think now I only have ad-block, as I always have had. But when I updated Firefox, add-ons were supressed, Enter stopped working. Later I have only installed ad-blocker again.
