Which OS/Version of Firefox? I only ever get the urlbar focused when I open a new tab…
Nightly, OSX.
This seems fixed now.
Or, no, it's happening again. If my cursor is already on the URL bar it works fine, but if it's e.g. typing in a github issue, and I Ctrl-T, the cursor moves to the DDG bar instead of the URL bar.
I can also reproduce this. Cmd-L also does not work, which makes this doubly-painful.
Hmm. I still can't reproduce either of these behaviours on today's Nightly (57.0a1, 2017-08-08 64-bit) on macOS 10.12.6. Is there anything in the Browser Console, and can you reproduce them in a new, clean profile?
I'm on the 2017-08-11 Nightly and I see different behavior now... looks like neither the search box nor the URL bar are focused now?
At this point, I'm convinced it's a Firefox bug, since WebExtensions have no way to focus or not focus the urlbar. Please file a bug over here, and hopefully it'll get fixed by one of the front-end developers.
Will do, thanks very much @bwinton!
Even with the improved newtab page disabled, Ctrl-T gives me a tab with focus on the DuckDuckGo search.
I like DDG, but typing in the DDG search doesn't give me URL suggestions, which is what I usually do on Ctrl-T. Can we have the ability to disable the newtab page completely or remove focus from the searchbox?
