Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Suddenly my ALT-ENTER keys from the searchbox, and also when opening a url in a new tab stopped working.
browser.search.openintab is set on true, but gives no result.

Can you please help me. Thanks in advance.

bug persists in Ubuntu 9.10, Karmic Koala. To reproduce: type a URL in the urlbar, press ALT and ENTER at the same time; expected behaviour is to open a new tab. For proper behaviour see Firefox 3.5 running on any Windows machine.

I can still not reproduce it (using Ubuntu 9.10). Alt + Enter works just as expected.

Works here as expected. Please try using a new profile and see if you can reproduce.
Does this happen on all websites? I tried with goggle.com and launchpad.net and works fine.
This is most likely a local problem please try the above.
