URL displayed in address bar when opening a new tab #27

Thanks for this addon. This is more a feature request than a bug.

I have the habit when opening a new tab to enter a search expression in the address bar - as a fast way of searching. This works well for example in Chrome because the address bar does not contain any text after I opened a new tab even if the tab is configured to display a certain website.

With this addon I have to delete first the address of the site that is displayed before I can enter a search expression - not a massive issue but it would be more convenient if this would work like in Chrome.

With firefox 57, after page is loaded, focus is given to page. Would be nice if, after page is loaded, foucus would still be assigned to address bar.

This isn't something I can currently control. See issue #23

If and when it's possible for this add-on to control the behaviour, it will, and I'll give users the option of how they want it to work.
