How to make the cursor stay in the address bar when opening a new tab?

When I open a new tab, the cursor flickers in the address bar and then disappears, and I have to click in the bar to bring it back. It's difficult to begin typing in the half-second it's there. I've checked for malware and my extensions, and I can't find anything which seems to be affecting the cursor in the address bar. The new tab page is just a blank screen. Can anyone help, please?

When you open the default New Tab page - about:newtab - which has the Tiles and a Search Bar, the "focus" is in the Search Bar. You could change a hidden setting to have a blank page when you open a new tab if that's what you want - that will have the "focus" in the Location Bar . URL Bar.

Type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter. Accept the warning

Search field at the top to filter with this - browser.newtab.url Right-click the preference that appears below, and select Modify. Insert about:blank for the new string value.

Thank you for your help. I did what you said, however, and the problem still seems to be occurring. On the plus side, I now have a nice blank page, and know about a feature of Firefox I previously did not. So thank you for that :)
