VK_ENTER is never dispatched by widget. We should remove all handlers of them and test.

Note that I don't think that we should remove KeyboardEvent.DOM_VK_ENTER for preventing JS error.
What kind of JS errors?
KeyboardEvent.DOM_VK_ENTER will not throw even if KeyboardEvent.DOM_VK_ENTER is undefined.
Oh, really?
You can easily test the behavior by typing "KeyboardEvent.WHATEVER_NOT_PRESENT" into Web Console.
But you'll get undefined if you assign that to some js variable and use that then later, yet expected
it to be a number.
Again, the loose type system will ignore type errors. JavaScript will convert undefined to NaN. Nobody will write a code such as "KeyboardEvent.DOM_VK_ENTER * 3" to calculate the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. The most possible usage would be:
switch (event.keyCode) {
...
case KeyboardEvent.DOM_VK_ENTER:
...
}
which is already dead anyway because we have never generated a keyboard event with DOM_VK_ENTER.

This patch just removes VK_ENTER handlers/dispatchers or replace them with VK_RETURN.

I'm not familiar with marionette part, though...

This is removing VK_ENTER both from nsIDOMKeyEvent and KeyEvent.webidl. If we keep not removing from webidl, I'll remove the change of webidl part before landing.

part.1 Remove or replace DOM_VK_ENTER and NS_VK_ENTER users

Oops, I realized that I missed catching *.jsm.

part.2 Remove DOM_VK_ENTER and NS_VK_ENTER definition

Tiny bit scary, but I guess we can try.

In browser/components/tabview/search.js

+    if (event.keyCode == event.DOM_VK_RETURN &&
+        (matches.length > 0 || others.length > 0)) {
+      thsis.hide(event);
thsis

Are we missing some tests if that passed on try :/
