Or, when pressing the "tab" key, the URL line should be selected. Seems easy to fix ;-) and a real time saver.... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open new page 2. Type URL 3. Actual Results: Nothing Expected Results: URL being typed should appear in URL bar
this is a dupe.

Invalid. When a page loads, focus is given to the content area intentionally. Focus is only given to the URL field in a new *blank* window or tab.

I still consider it a nuisance/bug, because the objective is to be able to type a new URL fast without using the mouse to click on the location bar. At least pressing the TAB key should cycle through all the clickable areas of a page INCLUDING the location bar. Maybe "Shift Tab" should always put the focus on the location bar ?

Carlo, use Cmd-L it will put the focus in the Location bar and show the location bar in a sheet if the toolbar is not visible. So Cmd-L always put the focus in it.
Carlo, that's another bug. Search Bugzilla for it. This is Invalid.
