Normally, after i write the site i want to navigate (e.g : www.yahoo.com), and press enter, the site start navigate automatically. But now, after i press enter, nothing happens. It's not even loading. My enter button is working properly. (i've tried it by writing something on notepad, and the enter button really worked). But at navigation toolbar, after i input the site i want to navigate and press enter, nothing happen. I have to click the arrow at the right side on navigation toolbar to start loading the page. Before, i don't have to do that. I only need to press enter. But now, the enter button didn't work. Anyone can help me?

This is normally caused by an add-on that is not working properly. To resolve this follow the procedures in the troubleshooting extensions and themes article.

Your plugins list shows outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.

  • Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32
  • Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_20 for Mozilla browsers

Update the Java plugin to the latest version.

Update the Flash plugin to the latest version.

Maybe remove this plugin as well: Yahoo! activeX Plug-in Bridge

It works. I open tools-add ons, and then disable the avg safe search, and now it's working again. Thanks for the help.
