Open Firefox Nightly and go to about:newtab 2. Then select the search option 3. Beside the string 'search the web' you will see the search icon 4. Click twice the search icon with mouse Actual result : The focused search bar flickers and the search bar gets deselected Expected result : The focused search bar should not flicker and the search bar should not get deselected.

With activity stream disabled, clicking the search icon would de-focus the search bar (which may or may not be right overall), in any case, you don't get the flickering that you do with activity stream. So I suspect this is an issue with activity stream and how they are managing focus for it (though we may need to fix the focussing in the search.xml) - moving to the new tab component for more diagnosis.

Ah it's probably because the icon is a <label> which moves focus from it to the input box.

The flickering was fixed by https://github.com/mozilla/activity-stream/pull/3588 to be uplifted via bug 1403215. The deselecting I believe is just how labels work as Standard8 pointed out in comment 1 disabled. If it were text, the text would end up being selected instead of the input: data:text/html,<label for="i">Label</label><input id="i"/>

Bug 1403215 hasn't actually made it to m-c yet.

Hi Ed, could you request an uplift to beta 57?

Does this need to be uplifted?

(In reply to Ed Lee :Mardak from comment #6) > Does this need to be uplifted? Oops, I didn't notice there's no patch for this bug. According to comment 3, this will be handled in bug 1403215. So ignore my question. Thanks, Ed.
