I (like many others) work a lot with the keyboard and your mouse stands mostly somewhere in the middle of the screen doing nothing. But if you then use the location bar and type some search term, the entry that is located under the mouse is selected.
That's normal behavior, but not desired behavior. if I don't use my mouse and i'm busy typing, I want the top result on enter, not the XXX where my mouse is standing.

So my mouse position must only be taken into account for selecting the result, when I already have moved my mouse.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put you mouse in the middle of the screen
2. ctrl-t (new tab)
3. type mozilla.com
4. hit enter
Actual Results:  
Opens the Xth result.

Expected Results:  
Opens the first result.
