Enter key not working after update?
So all of a sudden my enter key stopped working while using the address bar..
What I've tried so far
1. Starting firefox in safe mode - Didn't work 2. Reinstalling firefox - Didn't work 3. Resetting without any addons - Didn't work..
So did the Update 39 screw up something or is it just me ?
Also I'm not using AVG.

Unfortunately that didn't have any effect :(

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.
You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.
Some of your crash reports weren’t sent to the Mozilla Servers.
In the address bar, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP in front of the numbers/letters, click it and select Submit.
Using your mouse, mark the most resent 7 - 10 crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box below and paste them in.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#w_fix-the-bookmarks-file
- Places Maintenance: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
John99 said Did places maintenance help ?
UPDATE 8th July If you get the issue of the address bar not working again, until this bug is fixed, and that could be several months, the solution is to rename places.sqlite as explained in

- With steps to take explained in full in
Firefox 39 address bar not working /questions/1070999#answer-750702 along with a note about an advanced method, that may restore the database including History
The following request is only applicable if you still have the problem.
OR you had the problem and kept a copy of the places.sqlite from when the problem existed.
May I ask have you retained a copy of the file places.sqlite from a profile that did not work ? If so would you be willing to let Mozilla look at that file ?
WARNING There are privacy issues, in that the file contains your bookmarks information and browsing History. The file will only be used by Mozilla developers. It will not be displayed publicly.
If you are willing to provide a copy of this file, if required please contact by email Marco Bonardo
mak AT mozilla.com
I suggest you put in the subject line
places.sqlite; bug 11804i9; (/support.mozilla.org/questions/1070391)
and ask whether the file would be useful still.
Thanks for your time and the information you have already provided.
Cheers,
John
