QoL: remove extra click after launching sidebar chatbot

[noobvenom]

When I use the AI chatbot keyboard shortcut, it opens the selected chatbot in the sidebar, which is way faster than switching tabs for quick tasks like paraphrasing and summarizing.

The main issue is that it doesn’t autofocus the input box, so I still have to click into the text field before I can type or paste. That breaks the keyboard-only flow.

I’d love a small update where pressing the shortcut (for example Cmd+X) not only opens the sidebar chatbot (Gemini or ChatGPT), but also places the cursor directly in the input field so I can start typing right away.

This small quality-of-life change would make the feature much more usable for people like me who rely heavily on keyboard shortcuts. I also really like that it’s AI-agnostic and lets me use my own subscription.

Thank you, Firefox team!
