1. Press Cmd+T. 2. Select a recent page from the History menu. Result: Firefox waits until it starts displaying the page before filling in the URL bar. (In some cases, this behavior makes sense to prevent spoofing, but about:newtab isn't an attacker.) This annoys me the most when loading pages from Bugzilla for the sole purpose of getting the bug number into my clipboard.
Probably related to bug 610357.
