[gentoo-user] ENTER doesn't work in google.com?

[gentoo-user] ENTER doesn't work in google.com?

[Nikos Chantziaras]

Am I going crazy?  In google.com, when I enter a search query and press 
ENTER, nothing happens.  Note: only on the *English* google.com.  You 
get there by clicking the "Google.com in English" link.  It's this:

   http://www.google.com/ncr

Does the ENTER key work for anyone?  I'm on Firefox 3.0.5.  Konqeuror 
has no problem.

I clicked on your link and tried it, it looked like it just refreshed
the page or something for me.  No results or anything tho.  Clicking the
search button worked fine.

root@smoker / # emerge -pv seamonkey

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] www-client/seamonkey-1.1.14  USE="crypt ipv6 java ldap
xprint -debug -gnome -mozdevelop -moznocompose -moznoirc -moznomail
-moznopango -moznoroaming -postgres -xforms -xinerama" 0 kB

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB
root@smoker / #

Sort of weird, this worked a few days ago.  I always hit enter/return
when I do mine.

???????

Firefox 3.0.5. Works for me in Vista. Works for me in Gentoo.

My issue on Gentoo lately is that the box where you are supposed to
type isn't visible. There isn't any surrounding line like on Windows.
When I hit the back button I Can see the sounding line, but as soon as
my mouse passes over it the line goes away and the whole area is
white.

I can't imagine your emails being stored in there.  Firefox doesn't deal 
with email.  But you can simply "mv ~/.mozilla/firefox 
~/.mozilla/firefox.backup" instead of deleting it just to be safe.

He's using Seamonkey, not Firefox.

This just reminded me of why I don't use apps that do more than one 
thing at the same.  If they fsck up, you might lose more than one thing.

I don't use Firefox, I use Seamonkey.  Everything is in the ~/.mozilla
directory here.

I been using Seamonkey for about 6 years now.  I've changed hard drives
and did a clean reinstall recently.  I have yet to loose a single byte
of data.  I even manage to keep emails when I change email addys.

Works so far.  After all, all that is in there is emails.  If I had a
setting problem, I would just delete everything but the email directory.
