AVG Safe Search is a add-on installed alongside AVG Anti-Virus. Its purpose is to check links you enter in the URLBar and (at least google) search result links for maliciousness.
In its Chrome/content/overlay.xul there is a line <textbox id="urlbar" ontextentered="return SearchShield.onURLBarEntered(param);"/> The function 'onURLBarEntered' should check if the URL is malicious and open it if not. This seems to fail. I didn't dig deeper into that to find out where exactly this function does fail, but just commenting out the line mentioned above to <!--<textbox id="urlbar" ontextentered="return SearchShield.onURLBarEntered(param);"/>--> solves at least the problems this add-on is causing to the URLBar while preserving the search result check functionality. Hope this helps someone. -- address bar suddenly not responding to <enter> or the green arrow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/240242 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
