When a new tab is opened, it should open with the keyboard down (search bar not auto-focused) — so the user actually sees the homepage. Otherwise, the homescreen content would never be visible because focusing the search bar immediately swaps it for the recent/trending searches view.

Attachment: Bug 2054518 - Don't focus the address bar when a new tab is opened if trending and recent search on homepage is enabled

• When is settings.enableHomepageTrendingRecentSearch is enabled, opening a new tab should land on the homepage without the keyboard opened so the homepage is actually visible.

I now have to do a separate tap on the search bar every time I open a new tab. This is a UX regression.
