Latest nightly 20180215103933 has new windows loading about:blank for some reason…
Looks to be triggered by browser.startup.page;3 Bisect seems to point to bug 1403648. Opening a new window results in about:blank with focus not in the address bar.

Summary: New windows load about:blank instead of about:home → New windows load about:blank instead of about:home when startup session restore is on
Seems to be this particular commit: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/9833d3aa5451 Bug 1403648 - set the 'focused' attribute on the urlbar by default, and remove it when we are unsure, to avoid flickering of the urlbar-history-dropmarker, r=johannh. The previous commit seems to be good: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/c03c60285f5d Bug 1403648 - set urlbar focus and about:home favicon in the DOMContentLoaded handler to reduce window open flicker, r=johannh. Tested with: ./mach build && ./mach run --setpref browser.startup.page=3 then opening a new window (cmd-N)
