Firefox Mobile (157) no longer automatically opens the keyboard for new tabs

[PT400C]

Since Firefox Mobile 157, opening new tabs no longer auto-focuses the address bar and automatically opens the keyboard.

I'm not sure why this change was made, but it adds one additional unnecessary (!) step to opening new websites.

yeah, the people running firefox seem to love adding extra steps to what used to be simple tasks. I honestly suspect it's a way to fraudulently boost interaction stats, there's no other explanation for such disrupting changes that makes sense to me. like, maybe the people at firefox really are just that dumb, but I doubt it.
