Sorry for my english

In firefox, if you start a session with a blank page - the focus is placed in the entry line URL. If you put some kind of be a start page (for example news.com) - AF is not in the URL and you have to stick with the mouse. I want to have a home page and at the same time, that the autofocus has been in the line of the URL.

There plugin https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/auto-focus-url-bar/ but it focuses only when you type Latin characters [a-Z]

It doesn't work on start page. But in new tab it's ok. Need focus on start page.
