When I create a new tab, I have my search box selected. How can I change settings so there will be address bar selected instead of search box?

You can set the new tab page via the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page to about:blank or another page that doesn't have a search bar and set the home page to a search page of your choice.

You can middle-click the Home button on the Navigation Toolbar to open the home page in a new tab.

It is not what I actually want to do. When I'm creating new tab and starting to type something, text inserts to the search box. I need to enter text right into the address bar instead of search box. Although, I've already changed my browser, so this problem is not actual.
