Many homepages, especially search engines and -portals, "steal" the focus to focus the cursor on their search field. When I'm fast typing, I am disturbed from entering the url I want to enter.
This is a problem with pages that take long to load (like portals) and steal the focus after the loading process completed.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to msn.com
2. While the page loads, press CTRL + L
3. While the page loads, enter the url and press the Enter key
Actual Results:
If the page finishes to load between me starting and finishing to enter the url and pressing enter, half of my url is entered in the search field there and I'm taken to the search engine when I press enter.
Expected Results:
Firefox should recognice that I'm typing in the location bar and prevent the page from stealing the focus from the location bar.
