[Opening Tabs + Searching] How to make it like Chrome?

Hey Community,

I love Firefox and find it better than Chrome in all aspects expect for one.

In Chrome, when I press ctrl+t to open a new tab, the keyboard input automatically directs me to the address bar, where I can type in my url or search term.

In Firefox, when ctrl+t to open a new tab, I have to manually click on the address bar or google search bar.

Is there any way, or addon, to modify this behavior?

Thanks so much!

ok, the newest comment on the addon's page refers to the same issue, so it seems to be reproducible. please contact the developer of the addon through the channels provided on the homepage, and hopefully he will fix it. this extension seems to be quite actively developed & frequently updated, so your chances are quite good ;-)

hello, actually it should work right out of the box like this (with focus on the address bar when a new tab is opened). maybe one of your existing addons is interfereing here - could you try launching firefox in safemode once & see if it's working as intended?
