271565 - Focus is lost in location bar when page finishes loading

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 125282

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

If you are typing in the location bar, and the page finishes loading, focus is
given to the first form on the page, even if you are typing something in the
location bar... So if Google loads while I'm typing www.excite.com into the
location bar, I'll end up having something like www.exci in the location bar,
and te.com in the Google search form when I press enter.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Pick a page that takes a long time to load but has a form like Google.
2) Start typing in the location bar
3) When the page loads, see that you lose focus.

Off-topic, but the other thing I noticed is that when you are loading a page,
the location bar UI freezes up a bit, so it's harder to use the mouse, etc.

This is caused on Google by the javascript focus in the body onload event.
