Before the latest update I could hit command T and then tab and I would get to the search field in a new tab. Now hitting the tab once keeps me in the URL field. I need hitting tab once to take me to the search field. How can I update this?

Have you customized -- either directly or using an add-on -- the new tab page?

As a short term workaround, Cmd+K should always move the focus to the search bar.
