Hello!

When I open a new tab (about:home), autofocus is transferred to the address bar. I need to click on something to remove focus. I want to disable this behavior.

After searching the Internet, I came across only similar problems, but without solutions. I did not find anything in about:config.

Is there a way to disable this autofocus without patches and extensions?

Sorry, there is no way within Firefox to remove this behaviour.

Why do you not want focus in the address bar? You can initiate searches from there, and use it to look through your history/bookmarks for items to load.
