When a new tab is created, the location bar should automatically receive keyboard focus so users can immediately start typing a URL. However, the onURLChange callback was stealing focus back to the web view when loading the new tab page. This fix: 1. Calls focusLocationToolbarItem when activating a new tab 2.
