When i open a new tab i want the cursor to be at the beginning of the url (it was until this latest update, now the cursor is at the end of the url)
I have just taken the latest update to 22.0 from the last version.
In the past when i opened up a new tab the cursor would jump to the beginning of the URL and i could start typing. Now the cursor goes to the back of the URL and i have to double click the URL to type in a new one.
Let me try to be as clear as i can. I have had firebox set for long time so when i open a new tab google.com comes up, and google is also my home page.
I have not installed any options for a long time either. And nothing that has to do with tabs.
What i remember is as i opened a new tab the URL of it would turn blue and i could start typing in a new URL. Now when i open a new tab i see google.com come up in blue, then the url turns to https://www.google.com/ and the blue goes away and the cursor is at the end of the URL. I now have to double click the URL to type.

That is how it works if you set the about:newtab page to a specific web page via browser.newtab.url.
Use about:blank if you want a blank page that allows to open a specific URL or middle-click a bookmark with about:blank as location.
I switched to the "about blank" and then use my home icon to get to Google.com
It is not quit as good as it was but usable.
I think you should add two new check boxes in options under "tabs"
1 - When opening any new tab, put the focus of the cursor on the URL.
2 - When opening any new tab, put the focus of the cursor on the search box.
This will take care of the majority of people.
