Pressing "Enter" in the address bar (Windows XP) does nothing, I have to click the green arrow button to navigate to a new page/site; how do I get enter to work again?

Ever since the latest upgrade, my address bar doesn't work right, or rather "enter" does not work to navigate to the selected site.

I have Windows XP, so don't have the "awesome" bar; the menu items and tabs and everything all look the same as before the upgrade; it's just that the enter key doesn't work in the address bar any more.

Chosen solution

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