The Enter Key (and the GoTo Button) do not work in the Awesome Bar after I installed Firefox 5 on Mac OS X. I cannot use the Awesome Bar at all.

Since updating to FF5 this morning (OS X), the Awesome Bar basically does not function. I can type in it, and it shows results in the drop down box, but when I scroll to one and hit ENTER or the GoTo Arrow (at the far right of the Awesome Bar), nothing happens.

Previously, a New Tab would open and I would go to the search result in Google, a web page, etc.

The Awesome Bar is basically useless and the only way I can use Firefox is pointing and clicking,

The Enter Key works in ALL other application AND in web pages in FF. Thus, I cna search on Google's home page by using the Enter Key,

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).
