hi,
I used to use opera with tabs. Tabs are working in mozilla, but there is something  
very boring when coming from opera. When I create a new tab in the browser, I
have to click in the address bar (not required in opera), an then I can type the
address. I just want the focus to be on the address bar when I create a new tab.
I am sure this is very easy to do, and it will not be boring to use mozilla anymore.
Thanks.

WFM - 6 hours old CVS based build (trunk) - WinXP-Sp1.

Maybe a 1.0 branch bug only ?

Works for me, build id 2003011105 on linux.

Francois, could you check a more recent copy of mozilla and see if it works for
you? If it's still not working, please describe how you're opening the new tab.
When opened by ctrl-T, the new tab's focus is on the URL bar, but when opened by
Ctrl-Enter in the URL bar, the focus is in the new tab's page area. This is by
design.

It works with the last version of Mozilla (1.2.1)
