address bar and searches but working
How to I get my browser to actually take me anywhere? I put in Abby address in the bar and hit enter and it sits there and doesn't even acknowledge that there is a URL in the bar. Thought it might be my enter key so I hit the little arrow and it won't go either. It let's me hit the home button which takes me to Firefox search but if I put anything in the search bar and got search the text disappears and nothing happens. What do I do to fix this?
