The user should be able to immediately start typing a new url over the homepage
url when a new browser window is opened.
Editing Summary.
URL: NA
Summary: url in location box should automatically highlight when a new window is opened → Give focus to URL bar in new windows

my $0.02: i think we should follow most other browsers do (Netscape, Mozilla,
IE, iirc): set focus in the page content, unless the new page (or tab) being
opened is about:blank. if it's about:blank, then yes, focus should go to the urlbar.

Like sairuh said, but be sure that the focus not only goes to the url bar, but
that the text is also highlighted.

further to comment #4, this is another bug that requests that focus be set on
page content - bug 151039.

another disadvantage of setting focus into the urlbar, in terms of keyboard
accessibility: one thing i noticed is that once i'm in the urlbar (cmd+L or just
clicking there with the mouse), i cannot tab back into the page content. filed
bug 152987 to cover that issue.

This seems to be fixed using Chimera/2002092104. New non-blank windows focus
content, and new blank window focus the URL Bar.

Sorry to add on so late, but do you think that about:'anything' should be in the about:blank category of Comment #4? It's silly, really, but I've set my homepage in Netscape variants to about:mozilla since Netscape 1.0. :)

afaik, only about:blank (or a blank new browser window or blank new tab where
the urlbar is empty) should have focus in the urlbar.
so, i'd think that about:mozilla should have focus in the content area, since
there is content displayed... bryner / smfr, if this should not be the case, let
me know. a new bug could be filed for that case (instead of reopening this one).

[RFE] is deprecated in favor of severity: enhancement. They have the same meaning.
Severity: minor → enhancement
