User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.11
At http://www.luukku.com/ username must be typed before "@luukku.com" and every time logging to the website, keyboard pointer points to the end of the full username. Let "_" indicate keyboard pointer. So, user name box looks like this every time entering to the website: @luukku.com_
Pushing "Home"-button must be done before typing the username. This never happens with Opera and Internet Explorer.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Refresh the website
2. ...or type the URL to the URL-box and press enter.
3.
Actual Results:
Problem appears.
Expected Results:
To put keyboard pointer to the beginning of the username-box, like IE and Opera does.

This bug was originally reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.6 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME

IE and Opera do put pointer at start of field. Safari and Chrome highlight the text in the field. Might make sense if FF did one or the other...

I really wonders why we should put the cursor at the beginning of the input field?
Can't you use the selection API if you want the cursor to be at a specific position? Like setSelectionRange(0,0);
You can try this:
data:text/html,<body onload="var i=document.getElementsByTagName('input')[0]; i.focus(); i.setSelectionRange(0,0);"><input value="foo">

This is WONTFIX, I think. If you need specific positioning, you should use setSelectionRange or a similar API.
