'Enter' on the keyboard does not work for Mozilla only - I have to use the mouse to click go (eg.... choosing a bookmark then hitting enter to go to that chosen wesite wont work, or pasting a web address into the bar and hitting enter. Explorer and Chrome etc all work fine, only Mozilla.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

Many thanks for all your trouble and explanation I do appreciate it. but....

Im sorry I dont understand computers enough, safe start and switching themes and all that - I have no idea what that's about. There's no Mozilla safe start in my files, I tried the Flash update 3 times and my computer kept freezing up.

Im going to use Chrome as my main browser from now on and see what happens.

Much appreciate your helping though.
