Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubufox

When Firefox starts, the search box on the Ubuntu start page steals the focus. If the user is typing in an address in the location bar, the input focus moves to the search box. This is needless and annoying. It is extremely likely that, upon starting Firefox, the user wants to type an address. The start page should be changed to not move the focus.

ubufox 0.6~pre+bzr141-0ubuntu1

Mozilla does the same thing for their default home page so we're just following them on this.
