* Fix a bug preventing in some cases the address bar from getting
focus when entering find in page mode. Also correctly hide the left
hand side icons when in find in page mode. (LP: #1508130)
* Focus the page when opening links with target="_blank". (LP:
#1505724)
* Prevent the address bar from being cleared when the actual url
changes and the user has already started typing. (LP: #1487713)
* Update the user script to remove the Facebook app banner. (LP:
#1352783)
* Use AbstractButton to handle some tab interactions so that haptics
are used on touch. (LP: #1505725)

Title:
[desktop] When clicking a link that opens a new tab, focus should be
on page, not address bar
Status in Canonical System Image:
Fix Committed
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
1) Visit http://www.quackit.com/html/codes/html_open_link_in_new_window.cfm (just a site that has a target="_blank" example link)
2) Click the "HTML Tags" link in the "Example" area
3) Note where the keyboard focus after the new tab is opened
It should be on the page, which lets the user press up, down, page up,
page down, etc.
Instead, its in the address bar. Which (A) is pointless since we just
went to this page, we're unlikely to want to suddenly navigate
elsewhere and (B) is actively annoying, since I can't see the URL of
this new tab.
