Public bug reported: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
The default homepage set for Firefox 3 on Hardy Haron uses javascript to set the focus on the google dialog search. This may interrupt the user if they are in the middle of typing in the location bar. Steps to reproduce: 1. Make sure you have the default home page set: "chrome://ubufox/content/startpage.html", which redirects you to "http://start.ubuntu.com/8.04/"; 2. Open a new Firefox window (ctrl-n) 3. Set focus on the location bar (ctrl-l) 4. Start typing If you are a reasonably quick typer, or have a fairly slow internet connection, you will get to step 3 before the default homepage has loaded. Once the page load completes, the javascript on the page will move the keyboard focus from the location bar to the Google search box, interrupting your typing. Automatically changing focus is annoying at all times, but it is particularly troublesome in the start page, since it will be loaded for every new window, and on most occasion, a user will already have a particular location in mind to go to when they open it, which means they will want to type on the location bar without interruption from the page. ** Affects: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Default Ubuntu start page steals keyboard focus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244901 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
