Details

After a landscape rotation on Android, a tap on the location bar should prompt Fennec to open the virtual keyboard.
Summary: Fennec virtual keyboard does not activate on landscape rotation on Android → Fennec virtual keyboard does not activate on landscape rotation and location bar tap on Android
I think virtual keyboard on the N900 is always controlled by the system setting, regardless of orientation.
Any case this is a known bug apparently.

Actually, reopening due to the fact that not all taps to the location bar are calling open the virtual keyboard

Do you have any use caseswhere your'e seeing the taps not opening the virtual keyboard?
STR:

1. I tap the location bar, it opens the history/bookmarks screen and opens the virtual keyboard. Good.
2. I click the physical back button on my device (Milestone), keyboard closes. Good.
3. I am still on the history/bookmarks screen and I tap the location bar. No keyboard pops up. I am able to tap the current address (in my case, about:firstrun)'s cursor and move the cursor around, that's about it. Not good.
