Bug Description
1) Visit http://
2) Click the "HTML Tags" link in the "Example" area
3) Note where the keyboard focus after the new tab is opened
It should be on the page, which lets the user press up, down, page up, page down, etc.
Instead, its in the address bar. Which (A) is pointless since we just went to this page, we're unlikely to want to suddenly navigate elsewhere and (B) is actively annoying, since I can't see the URL of this new tab.
