1500792 - URLbar isn't focused after opening a new non-Private window when the privileged process is enabled

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1472212

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[tgn-ff]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new profile.
2. Set browser.tabs.remote.separatePrivilegedContentProcess to true and restart the browser.
3. Open a new _non-Private_ window and type something.


Actual results:

The URL bar isn't focused and you can't type immediately to it before you select it with a mouse or a keyboard shortcut.


Expected results:

I expected to be able to immediately write to the urlbar. This is the behavior for new tabs and Private windows, regardless of the status of the privileged process.

The good news is that one of the patches in bug 1472212 actually fixes this:

https://hg.mozilla.org/mozreview/gecko/rev/0253c55229c44128e9c08a17d449cd24f9c7857b#index_header

So once that lands, this problem should be gone.

Comment 3 is correct. I had seen the patch in Bug 1472212, but I had missed that it was backed out shortly after the first push. I would mark it as fixed, but, since I can't, I will mark it as duplicate.
