Step #2 is not needed - in fact, clicking on the urlbar will make the code work correctly in my tests. This bug occurs about 90% of the time for me when starting Fennec, awesomebar auto-displays, and start to type using keyboard.

This also happens if you bring up the symbol map while typing, when its dismissed, the next key entered will be capitalized.

I bet there is something to see with the window visibility and we failed somewhere here http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/widget/src/gtk2/nsWindow.cpp#7043

I in _editURI i call gFocusManager.setFocus in a setTimeout the state is well updated and we do not enter uppercase char at launch

Is it still blocking? Since we have a start page the user will likely click on the urlbar to go somewhere and clicking on the urlbar prevent the auto-capitalize bug/

So only case where this bug still happen is when the user choose to start on about:blank instead on about:home.

This is true. The bug is less obvious now.

There was talk of making about:blank _not_ open the awesomescreen. We need to nail down that decision.

We did decide to _not_ open the awesomescreen for about:blank. This means that this bug is hard to reproduce. Removing blocking flag.
