When I startup Firefox, I often start to type into the searchbar before my homepage (google or the Mozilla google) has loaded. Once google has loaded, the focus is stolen from the searchbar to the google search. Then I have in the search bar, i.e. "Nash" and in the google search, "vile, TN". If i don't notice that this has happened, and I hit enter, hilarity ensues. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. Set home page to www.google.com (or another search page?)
1. Startup FF
2. hit command K
3. start to type your search

Actual Results:  
Focus is stolen from the search bar to the google search's query bar

Expected Results:  
focus stays in the search bar, with my partially typed search.

Perhaps this makes sense if I didn't hit command-k, or if I had not yet typed into the searchbar the beginning of a search, but if focus is stolen while I'm typing that is seriously annoying.

The minefield decreased starup time seriously mitigates this problem, but it is still present.
This also happens if one start up, hits ctrl-L, starts typing in the location bar, and then the page loads...
