1490053 - New Tab Focus not in Location Bar anymore

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1485307

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[MS]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:63.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/63.0
Build ID: 20180904170936

Steps to reproduce:

Open new tab using the "+" button.


Actual results:

Focus is on the page instead of the location/address bar.

If the setting "Search in page on typing" is active, then typing results in the search in the new tab page. But supprisingly, if the setting is not active, then the focus is not on the search engine field of the new tab page either.

Deactivating the new tab page "browser.newtabpage.enabled" solves that issue.
But that is no viable solution on my side as it breaks the Tab Container as the new tab is not opened in the current container but the default one.


Expected results:

Focus should be in the location/address bar - so that one can enter the URL to visit.

Works for me. If you're actually using an add-on to override the new tab page, this is a duplicate of bug 1485307.

As I use Conex addon for the tab groups, I assume thats the case for me. Thanks for the hint.
