Writing a URL before the tab finishes loading clears my writing #17

Hello, very nice extension, thank you for your work.

I'll admit this may be a bit of a corner case, but sometimes I open a new tab (ctrl+T) and start writing really fast, but the first letters of what I have written get erased when the extension focuses on the URL tab... I don't know if there's a way to solve this, nor if anyone else has noticed this problem.

Thanks!

You're welcome!

...when the extension focuses on the URL tab...

The extension itself doesn't actually do the focusing on the address bar. It uses the chrome_url_overrides.newtab API to specify a custom file that is shown.

The behaviour of keeping the focus on the address bar is all handled by Firefox so I don't think there's anything that can be done by the extension to fix your issue.
