Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:80.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/80.0

Steps to reproduce:

Have an extension that replaces your new tab page (in my case https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/umibo/). Create a new tab and try typing.

Actual results:

Nothing, url bar is not focused, even if the page has no search field.
You can see the blue border on the url bar for a fraction of a second before the page is loaded.

Expected results:

We should be able to open a new tab and immediately type in the url bar.

Bugbug thinks this bug should belong to this component, but please revert this change in case of error.

Component: Untriaged → Address Bar

I can confirm this in multiple addons that replace new tab page (tabliss, momentum)
