ENTER button doesn't initiate search
WIN7, Firefox 65.0.1, address bar set for both search and navigation: I don't know when things changed, but when I enter a search term and mash Enter nothing happens. I have to mouse-click the arrow at the end of the address bar. Is there a setting that will again allow me to initiate Search with either Enter or a mouse click?

Running 67.0a1 Nightly here on Windows 10. Hitting Enter works as it always has.
It never quit working either when I used earlier versions going back years now.

Any change if you restart in Safe Mode?
Fire 750, bring back 250.

Re: ENTER button doesn't initiate search
Are you hiding all suggestions in the URL bar?
Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security: Address Bar: When using the location bar, suggest
If that is the case then try to enable at least one suggestion (e.g. open tabs) to see if that has effect

Re: ENTER button doesn't initiate search
Thanks for the guidance.
I did have all suggestions hidden, but re-enabling them did not fix my problem.
Safe mode DOES solve it; both the Enter button and mouse click work. Duh... should have thought of that on my own.
This gives me some ideas to try. I'll come back if I can't solve it.

Re: ENTER button doesn't initiate search
Resolved... somehow. I couldn't think of any fix I was confident enough to try. The problem existed for months but somehow has gone away. I didn't make any changes, (I swear) but have applied some Fx updates.
