Feature request: There are a number of bugs (ex. Bug #84011 related to Control-L (Command-L on Mac) improperly being available if no browser window is currently displayed requested feature: when no browser windows are displayed, Command-L will open a new blank browser window and move the focus to the URL field.

Cmd-N already does this. Why do we need this?

UI design. This seems like a decent idea from a muscle-memory point of view -- hit cmd-L without checking whether you have browser windows, then type.

... and the behavior is consistent with the two other big browsers on Mac OS X (IE and OmniWeb). I believe older versions of Netscape at least presented an "Open Web Location" dialog (a la Control-Shift-L), whereas the current behavior does nothing.

Navigator 4.7.x does indeed open a new window if none exists after entering a url from the Cmd-L window.
