104846 - opening a new browser should put focus in location bar

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 76621

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Jake]

when you hit cntl-n to bring up a new browser window, the location bar should
have the text cursor focus.

this way, you can hit cntl-n and immediately start typing in a URL

what version of mozilla are you using? My version (20011014) has this feature...

i would have expected this to be fixed a very long time ago.
works fine for new window, and new tab.

You're probably running into bug 76621, where the search sidebar steal focus 
from the location bar even when the search sidebar is not visible.  Try closing 
the sidebar completely (F9) or switching to a different sidebar tab.

the problem was the "hidden" search bar.  closing it with f9 works.
