Someone at thought that BLOCKING the [ENTER] key from confirming the 'SAVE' of a content is a good idea ... think again - its garbage/bullshit - bring it back before it backfires more ... (mastodon.bsd.cafe)

Those generally are there because someone has figured out a way to atack your computer. Like, get someome playing a Web game and slamming enter and then pop up a dialog right in the middle so that you inadvertently confirm doing something unpleasant to your computer. The secure setting is probably the right default for most users.

Go to about:config (type into address bar) and set security.dialog_enable_delay setting to 0.

Note: disabling this delay may in theory open you to some pretty non-standard security attacks described in this article (as Otiel pointed out), but I wouldn't lose sleep about it.

Thank you, this is exactly what this setting is there for.
