How to set focus on newtab page and not the url bar
When I open a new tab, i would like the page to be in focus and not the urlbar. This is what i used to have in my mozilla.cfg: ``` // Auto focus new tab content try {
Cu.import("resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm");
Cu.import("resource:///modules/BrowserWindowTracker.jsm");
Services.obs.addObserver((event) => {
window = BrowserWindowTracker.getTopWindow();
window.gBrowser.selectedBrowser.focus();
}, "browser-open-newtab-start");
} catch(e) { Cu.reportError(e); } ``` This worked until the last update. What solutions are there?

Services is now a global variable and you can no longer use Cu.import. You need to remove all thes lines.
Cu.import("resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm");
You can this instead in older (e.g. 115 ESR) and newer (117+) Firefox versions.
const Services = globalThis.Services || ChromeUtils.import("resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm").Services;Dit antwurd yn kontekst lêze 👍 1

The search bar you see on the Firefox Home page is not a real search bar, but is a fake search bar and even the cursor is fake as you can see if you check this in the inspector (right-click: Inspect), even the For now there is a pref to revert this change.

Hmmm. I don't think that does It. I was talking about the url bar, not the search bar on the page. I think this is specific to me. I forced a different new tab page in mozilla.cfg and applied the patch above for cursor focus. It appears that when the startpage has the same url, the cursor doesn t focus corectly. So, for now, setting one with file:// and one without, magically worked.
