Why doesn't enter take me to the address I just typed?

My computer just updated Firefox to v.54.0.1 (32-bit). When I type an address in the address bar, and press <enter>, my browser does nothing. It used to go to the address, but now it just sits there.

Where in settings do I change this??

This can happen if you have disabled all suggestions in the location/address bar drop-down list. You will have to enable at least one suggestion.

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 via Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security and Search

  • Address Bar: When using the location bar, suggest:
    History
    Bookmarks
    Open tabs
