MacOS – Focus on address bar in Safari

macossafari

A few days ago i noticed, that in new tab cursor doesn't set on address/search bar. Now I use ⌘+L combination to quickly switch, but it isn't comfortably for long time use.

Reflecting on the causes of such behavior , I found that the cursor stands on a search tab in the private tab.

What i tried to do to fix it:

  1. Set in general preferences parameter Open new tabs/windows with Empty page
  2. Turn off all extensions

I have OSX 10.11.5 with Safari 9.1.1 (and also i have the same problem on Safari Technology Preview 9.1.1)


Example:

Open new window enter image description here

Press combination cmd+T

But when I do same actions in private window cursor has already focused on address bar.
