User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When using ctrl-T (or File->New Tab), a new tab opens, but focus stays on the
current tab instead of the new one.  Older versions handled it correctly;
Windows version is OK.  I just see this in Firefox/1.0 for Linux.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Have at least one tab open.
2.ctrl-T or File->New Tab
3.?
4.Profit!

Actual Results:  
I get a new tab, but focus stays on the old tab.

Expected Results:  
Focus should be on the new tab, with my cursor ready and waiting in the location
bar.

Are you sure it's not a broken profile, mis-set options or buggy extensions?
