Opening new tab does not give it focus #1

With the latest nightly builds opening a new tab via shortcut or button opens the homepage tab but focus remains on your current tab.

Confirmed; seeing this in OS X. With the extension disabled, the tab-focus behavior is correct.

Confirmed.

This should be resolved in the latest version (as the extension has been rewritten to use in-built Firefox code to handle the tab opening). Please confirm if this is still a problem once you've been upgraded to 0.5? Thanks.

Latest version installed and new tab does give me my home page but leaves focus on url in address bar, not in the Google search field where I would prefer it. Thanks

Giving focus to content is covered by issue #2, and is actually trickier than you might think. I will keep it in mind, but so far I've never managed to find a reliable way of doing it. I'd rather release code that works than something that half-works and annoys people even more :-)
