Steps to reproduce:

extension i used was "Search All Tabs", which has an autofocus text field in its popup.

I set a keyboard shortcut for opening the popup.

Shortcut can be set in the "Manage Extension Shortcuts" menu in the add-ons page. Find the "Activate toolbar button" action.

Hello,

I reproduced the issue on latest Nightly (132.0a1/20240915215047), Beta (131.0b6/20240913091444) and Release (130.0/20240829075237) under Windows 10 x64 and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

Opening the popup via keyboard shortcut does not focus the text field, as opposed to clicking the extension button to open the popup which does focus the text field.
