In the URL block, there is a curved arrow at the right end of the block. When I put the cursor into the block in preparation for entering a URL, the curved arrow changes to a straight arrow, pointing to the right. After entering the URL, and hitting the ENTER key, nothing happens. If I click on that straight arrow, I am then taken to the desired website. This only started happening about 2 weeks ago. How can I fix this problem, so that when I hit the Enter key, I am taken to the desired website?

Chosen solution

That issue can be caused by the AVG Safe Search extension.

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).

You can see on the AVG site if there is an update available.
