Description: When a user inadvertently enters an incorrect URL, the user must
mouse-OK the error box and the (again, using the mouse) reselect the address
bar. There should be some way to allow the user to do all this without taking
his hands off the keyboard. It would be nice if I could just ESC the box out and
they the cursor reappars in the address bar.

Reproducible: Always

Btw, you can always get focus into the location bar by pressing Ctrl+L.

How has this but been resolved? Has the code been changed to adjust where the
focus goes?

I marked this bug as a duplicate of bug 90919.  That doesn't mean it was fixed;
it just means that the problem is being tracked by
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90919 rather than this bug report.
You're right that the term "resolved" is confusing in this case.
