If i open a new tab the cursor is not positioned in the address bar like it used
to be. Before i could start typing the URL, now i have to activate the address
bar first

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new tab (CTRL-t)
2. Type URL to visit


Actual Results:  
A new tab is openend but the URL is not entered in the address bar

Expected Results:  
The cursor should be positioned in the address bar immediately after the new tab
is opened and the entered URL should be entered in the address bar.

There is a similar bug with the FAYT feature (305894). Both bugs appeared at the
same time.

This regressed between 2005-08-23 and 2005-08-24:

Maybe a regression from bug 249136?
