I have set browser.newtab.url to https://www.google.ca/ in firefox about:config.

How to put focus directly on Google text box instead of the address bar when opening a new tab? The goal is to start typing directly after a Ctrl + T and use the Google Instant feature.

The default comportment: http://imgur.com/eLVIk0I Google Instant link : http://www.google.ca/insidesearch/features/instant/about.html

Thanks.

  1. Type about:config into the address bar and press Enter.
  2. To bypass the warning, press the big button labeled "I'll be careful, I promise!".
  3. In the search box, paste browser.newtab.url
  4. In the search results, right-click browser.newtab.url and choose Reset.
  5. Install Custom New Tab.
  6. Click the ≡ Menu Button and choose Add-ons, then Extensions.
  7. Next to the Custom New Tab entry, click the Options button.
  8. Enter whatever web page URL you want, or an internal URL like about:home or about:newtab, and make sure "Place focus in URL bar" is not checked.

Thanks a lot. Is there a way in about:config for instance where I can manually do the same thing?

I have the exact same issue.

Mozilla, if you're reading, please make this an option (or even the default behavior). I like to install as few add ons as possible, and this is a small but annoying issue. I'd rather not install an add on for this.

edit: Installed the add on linked to above. Question: what does the 'preload this page' box do? It's checked by default.
