i dont want the form in a window to focus the default form element if i focused the address bar before the page loaded. For example, i open a new window and start to write a keyword into the google toolbar or the addressbar but when i am at the middle of the keyword, firefox startpage ends up loading and focus goes to the textarea in the page. So my word is being divided and i hate it. I still want to use firefox start page as my homepage but, i will change it to blank if there will be no solution. Thanks

Expected Results:  
Software should allow focuses in the page elements, but it must not allow the form elements auto-focus if the user already focused the address bar or the toolbar text areas.
