Since I upgraded to firefox 10.0 when I type in a web address I have to click on the arrow (go button) to actually go to the address I typed in. I used to be able to type in www.google.com and hit enter. Now I have to click on the arrow on the right of the navigation box. 

Also if I type google and then hit CTRL+ENTER it should add the www and .com and go to www.google.com.  This does not work.  It just sits there and waits.

If you have AVG Safe Search Extension enabled, disable it, and try again.

otherwise

in Options window then Advanced panel then General tab then Browsing session, UNCHECK Use hardware acceleration when available, click OK to save it, exit firefox and restart it.

see for more info : Options window - Advanced panel
