Steps to reproduce:

- With an open Firefox window in the foreground - Enter keyboard shortcut: Command-N

Expected behaviour:

- New window opens with keyboard focus on the location field - Keys enters appear immediately as text in the location field

Observed behaviour:

- New Firefox window opens without keyboard focus in the location field - Keys typed are not entered into the location field

Further observations:

- Entering Command-L focuses the location field as expected - Opening a new *private* window *does* place keyboard focus in the location field - All installed extensions are permitted in private windows
