User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

It's only for accessibility but it could be a great feature if after closing one
of the firefox's panels (Bookmark, History or any extension like Moji), the
focus got in the URL field to write directly a URL.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new tab
2. Ctrl + B, to open the Bookmark's panel
3. Find the bookmark, opps, I didn't bookmark that site.
4. Ctrl + B, to close the Bookmark's panel
5. Here's the problem: Now I can't write on the URL field if not pressing Ctrl + L


Actual Results:  
I can't write the URL on the URL field.

Expected Results:  
The expected results would be that I could write the URL on the URL field.

I don't think this would be a good idea - what if you want to check your
bookmarks/close the bookmark sidebar and then continue navigating the page?

Pressing F6 goes to the location bar so it's only one keypress.

Also this bug should be marked as an enhancement.

Upon closing the bookmarks panel, if focus in in the panel it should move to the
content.
