Well, the summary pretty much provides the details here.  I prefer a blank
page for my home page.  When I open a new window, or open a new Tab, it
will be a blank page.  However, I can't get to the address bar without
moving to the mouse.  Their maybe a keyboard shortcut to give the address
bar focus, but I don't know it.  But I shouldn't have to.  The address bar
should recieve focus.  That way, when a user loads a new window or tab,
they don't have to convert back to a mouse to get focus, or try and
remember or learn a brand new keyboard command.

This shouldn't detract from the simple interface, and should not cause any
problems.  This is merely an enhancement on how the interface already
works.  The fact that it doesn't work is a minor bug (IMO, but whatever
it's called, the fix is the same).

Thank you for making an excellent browser.  Very happy with it.  It's
simply the best.
