The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
- Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
- Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
- Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
- Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Ctrl+Enter only works if there is a single domain and no longer works with multiple domains.
This is caused by implementing switch to tab that can be bypassed with the Shift and Ctrl key.
Two relevant bug reports:
- bug 688395 - CTRL+Enter does not append .com after getting a server not found error
- bug 673528 - using Shift to bypass "switch to tab" doesn't work anymore (loads www.domain.com.net)
I see, but i was good. for example before, when i wanted to check yahoo mail, i used to type mail.yahoo and Ctrl+Enter, but now i have to type it completely, I know it can cause another problem for those who type multiple domains.
They can use it for some specific domains as in (com, net ....) but if they fix this for such i exampled it could be much better.
You can consider to use a bookmark with a keyword assigned like "y" or "ya" to make it easy to select it.
However this solution is not what i used to , its so useful, Anyway I should appreciate you because of your attention and time regard to me
