Description

[Amir Aharoni]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:12.0a2) Gecko/20120216 Firefox/12.0a2
Build ID: 20120216042740

Steps to reproduce:

Started Firefox and saw the new opening page with the nine buttons with frequently visited pages.


Actual results:

Saw that the cursor is not at the URL bar and had to move my mouse a few inches to get there to type a URL.


Expected results:

The cursor should have been in the URL bar.

This bug is very similar to Bug 333651.

More precise details:

1. Go to Preferences / General.
2. Put "about:newtab" in "Home Page".
3. Select "Show my home page" in "When Aurora starts".
4. Open a new tab.
5. Make sure that the nine buttons with frequently visited pages are displayed.
6. Close all other tabs.
7. Close Aurora.
8. Open Aurora.

The cursor is not in the URL bar.

Confirmed:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:12.0a2) Gecko/20120221 Firefox/12.0a2 ID:20120221042010

Works for me:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:13.0) Gecko/20120221 Firefox/13.0a1 ID:20120221031301

Can you confirm this not being an Issue on a Nightly Build?
AFAIK, the "Newtab" Feature is disabled on Aurora anyways.

Works well in Nightly.
