Steps to reproduce:
Typed a url into the address bar, was redirected to another url while trying to modify the original url in my address bar
Actual results:
I am redirected to another url, which starts with the original url i entered. If I click in the url to modify it before the page is redirected, my caret gets repositioned at the beginning of the url instead of respecting where i clicked
Expected results:
The caret should stay where it is if the redirected url contains a portion of the original url

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Address Bar' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Hi braechnov,
Thank you for taking the time to report this issue.
I was having trouble reproducing the same results on MacOS and Firefox 98.0.1
Would you be able to upload a video of your steps and what you're seeing? It would help us further identify and investigate the issue.

Reporter, this report isn't very clear. Could you please record a video as Mandy suggested? If that's not possible, please provide a precise list of steps to reproduce the problem.
This sounds similar to a cluster of bugs related to modifying the text in the input while a page is loading or after opening a new tab. See these bugs and the see-also's linked from them:

@braechnov, is this issue still reproducible for you? If yes, could you please provide more detailed steps or maybe a recorded video as suggested in previous comments?

Redirect a needinfo that is pending on an inactive user to the triage owner.
:adw, since the bug has recent activity, could you please find another way to get the information or close the bug as INCOMPLETE if it is not actionable?
For more information, please visit auto_nag documentation.
