Description Steve Frécinaux 2006-03-16 10:21:35 UTC 
The location bar should be focused when creating a new empty tab, to allow one
to type the destination url immediately.

Currently when I want to browse a new website, I have to do Ctrl+T to open a new
tab, to hit Ctrl+L to focus the location bar and then to write the URL. I'd like
to avoid the second accelerator...

Seems like a dupe of 105153. Basically - you need to have a blank home page, otherwise the loaded page will get the focus. Read more in that bug, and feel free to add your thoughts there.

Comment 2 Steve Frécinaux 2006-03-16 19:20:37 UTC 
Sorry for the dup but this behaviour is all but obvious... I can hardly imagine someone wanting to see the same page again and again everytime he opens a new tab. Anyway, thank you for the trick ;-)

Don't know why it is so. Look through the other bug if you want to know, and perhaps add your thoughts there.
Comment 4 Crispin Flowerday (not receiving bugmail) 2006-03-19 19:11:46 UTC 
For clarity, the issue here is if the home page is a search engine, where you really do want the focus in the web page rather than the location entry.
