This can happen if you have disabled all location bar suggestions. You will have to enable at least one suggestion to make the Enter key work.

The location bar drop-down list can show history items, bookmarked pages, pages opened in tabs, and search suggestions. You can set what suggestions show when you enter an URL in the location/address bar bar.

    History
    Bookmarks
    Open tabs
