Searchbar does not work; I type a query, hit enter or search, then nothing happens!
I have Firefox 4.0 now...but the search bar has gone kaput; it is still there, but any query I write in using ANY of the sites provided will not work...nothing happens. For now, I just enter either a word or two in the address bar or go to my iGoogle home page and use the search bar there.

- In the location bar, type about:config and hit Enter.
- In the filter at the top, type: keyword.URL
- Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q=
- Go to File | Exit and then restart Firefox and try again.
Since the above search engine becomes a link in this forum, right click it and choose Copy Link Location so that you can subsequently hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type it all.
I have the same problem. It`s not just google it`s all of my search enigines...bing,wikipedia,ask,websters, amazon,ebay,youtube. Type in text hit enter or click the search button and absolutely nothing happens.
@ loki, it might be a good idea for you to start your own thread because your problem sounds a bit more complicated.
If you happen to have "AVG Safe Search" installed, disable it because it blocks the Enter key after typing in a search. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
