Recently it changed as pushing enter key in separate bookmark window overwrites
the content of the window that holds focus at that time instead of simply
spawning a new navigator window of the selected URL.
However, after pushing the enter key and getting selected URL in a focused
navigator window, its main view doesn't immediately respond to some keys to
scroll main view up and down, i.e. arrow keys and pagedown/up keys. It still
needs one mouse click in the main view to make it respond to those keys. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks... and get separate bookmark window
2. Push enter key in separate bookmark to open some URL
3. Selected URL is opened on the navigator window that has focus at that time
4. Push pagedown key(or down-arrow key)

Actual Results:  Nothing happens

Expected Results:  Page scrolls down

You need to click the main view to make it respond to pagedown key.

Well the situation behind two bugs are different.
When I submit the older one, the version of Mozilla at that time spawned
a new window when choosing URL from Manage Bookmark window and it's obvious
that keyboard didn't respond because URL box had focus.
On the other hand, in the newer bug Mozilla was fixed not to spawn a new window
and it's not clear that why keyboard doesn't respond (apparently URL location
box doesn't have focus).
I'm not sure about Mozilla internal and reason of those bugs, thus can't
verify it's duplicate or not. Dimitrios, do you have any clue on similarity
of those problems other than the text of my bug reports?
If those bugs share the same root there's no problem.

The behaviour I 'm seeing resembles to the old bug: still the content area
doesn't have focus, although neither url bar has focus now. I think it is better
to post this information in bug 112367 instead of having both bugs opened.
Okay, I tried build 2002030803 and found that URL bar has focus...
In previous nightly builds URL bar didn't respond either.
Dimitrios, so now I can verify it's duplicate though it's odd that this bug
comes around URL box again...
