Details

STR:

1. Install an extension that uses `chrome_url_overrides` and `newtab` to override about:newtab.
2. Use the keyboard to open a new tab from an existing page

Expected:

Either the URL bar is blank with the cursor at the beginning of the location field, OR the 'moz-extension://' URL is selected so keystrokes will overwrite the existing location field value

Observed:

Cursor is sometimes placed at the end of the location field without selecting the existing URL, so when you type a new URL, it just appends it to the end of the existing URL.
Filed previously, and there's already a patch up waiting for mconley's review.  :D

(Uh, I should have added that it was filed previously under completely different terms, so it's no surprise that you didn't find it in a search.  Thanks for filing this one to make it easier to search for! :)
