User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:97.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/97.0

Steps to reproduce:

Try to type a search phrase in the search field at start page, search engine is duckduckgo.

Actual results:

After the first typed letter the cursor ist moved to the URL-Field. This is repeatable.

Expected results:

The letters I type in should stay there where the cursor was. No magic mysterious move elsewhere.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Layout: Form Controls' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Layout: Form Controls
Product: Firefox → Core
Component: Layout: Form Controls → New Tab Page
Product: Core → Firefox

As far as I know this is the expected behavior, it's reproducible with all search engines, on all OS's.
I will set it as an enhancement so the engineering team could decide if they take in consideration changing or not.
Thanks.
