We should not be checking any desktop mode kind of switch for this
either, should be enough to check if we're in expanded mode. On a tablet
without mouse/keyboard it will focus the field and cause the OSK to
appear but don't think that is a bad thing necessarily as the content of
the page is horizontally layout so it should be clear the page can be
interacted with if desired.

Title:
  Address bar does not get focus when adding a new tab

Status in Canonical System Image:
  New
Status in canonical-pocket-desktop:
  New
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Expected Result:
  When adding a new tab via the button or Ctrl + T, the address bar is automatically focused so that users can immediately type the URL.

  Current Result:
  When opening a new tab, the new tab page is shown with bookmarks and top sites but the user can't type immediately the URL they want to go to.

  
  This might be more appropriate in windowed mode since most likely a physical keyboard exists thus making it easier for the users to input the URL when adding a new tab. In staged mode, focusing the address bar will show the OSK which might not be desirable if the user wants to select from the bookmarks or top sites instead of inputting its own URL.
