[Affected Platforms]:

[Steps to reproduce]:

1. Open the browser with the profile from prerequisites and open a "New Tab".
2. Click inside the in-content "Search Bar" and observe the behavior.

[Expected result]:

• The in-content "Search Bar" is focused according to the specifications.

[Actual result]:

Prathiksha, it seems your patch in bug 1687512 caused this regression. Is that something that needs to be fixed in 86? Thanks
