It's useful if about:newtab is set as the homepage.

Although for those using it as a new tab, those users would be expecting focus to be in the location bar. There are plans to have activity stream replace about:home, so that potentially could have logic to focus for about:home but not for about:newtab.

The problem is that at the moment whatever you type when you launch Firefox (with about:newtab as home page) is lost.

Design says wontfix and that activity stream as home page will actually focus location bar. See bug 1393246

Nevermind. Product wants to avoid search metrics changes.

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: Since Activity Stream is now the home page, we should focus something (either location bar or search field) automatically when it opens.
