@firefox I'm using this extension called New Tab Override and just saw that the dev complained a few years back about how it wasn't possible to highlight the url of a newly opened tab and there hasn't really been any recent response, will I ever see this? So far I had to reprogram my brain to type Ctrl + A right after the Cttl + T
That's pretty much the reason I'm not using extensions that change the new tab. This annoyance wasn't worth it IMO.
Same here. I feel your pain.

I’m not understanding what you or the dev are wanting to do, but I also wouldn’t be in a position to fix this even if I understood 🤷♂️
@jqubed I really do suck ass at explaining, have the dev of the extension I'm talking about explain it for you: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show\_bug.cgi?id=1409675
@jqubed also, I found another bug with a title that explains the issue way better: "With a custom new-tab URL, opening a new tab focuses the address bar but does not select the text"
