change default location of cursor
(backstory) I've run into a strange error. When I use the url box, there is a wildly annoying "Did you mean...?" NO! I MEANT WHAT I TYPED!!! My solution was to just use the search bar. I like this solution. But now I need to get the cursor to default in the search box when I open a new tab.
(problem) I am having trouble changing the default location of the cursor when I open a new tab. I'd like to go to the search box, not the URL box.

Are you typing a single word in the location bar when this happens ? Do you want to search or do you want to visit a webpage ?
Could be caused by having DNS over HTTP (DoH) enabled.
- network.trr.excluded-domains
- browser.fixup.domainwhitelist.*
(keywordURIFixup.message): Used when the user tries to visit a local host page, by the time the DNS request recognizes it, we have already loaded a search page for the given word. An infobar then asks to the user whether he rather wanted to visit the host.
Are you typing a single word in the location bar when this happens ? Actually, Ive never thought about it before. Its probably only when I use a single word.
Do you want to search or do you want to visit a webpage ? Most of the time I search for the site I need. So search.
Should I turn these off in the about:config page? What should I do to at least turn off the annoying message?
