On Internet Explorer, a contentEditable DIV creates a new paragraph (<p></p>) each time you press Enter whereas Firefox creates a <br/> tag.
As discussed here, it is possible to use JavaScript to intercept the Enter keyPress and use range.pasteHTML to create a <br/> instead. But doing this breaks the Undo menu; once you hit Enter, you can no longer Undo past that point.
How can I force the contentEditable element to create single line breaks on Enter without breaking Undo?

Just set contentEditable="false" . See this answer.
Not an exact solution, but another workaround. If you use the markup:
<div contenteditable="true">
<div>
content
</div>
<div>
Then pressing enter will create new div tags instead of p tags.

Hold down shift when you press enter for breaks, don't hold it down for full paragraphs. This behaviour is the same by default in Firefox, given a contenteditable area containing a paragraph: i.e.
<div contenteditable="true">
<p>If you are typing here</p>
<div>
