Thanks for the detailed report!
This is the intended behaviour: as you point out, on a phone form-
factor, focusing the address bar would pop up the OSK, which would
partially hide the new tab view. On a desktop, in windowed mode, the
address bar gets focused.
Currently the "desktop mode" detection is clunky and won’t work well on
unity8, but that’s a separate issue. As far as focusing the address bar,
the behaviour is correct.

Title:
Address bar does not get focus when adding a new tab
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Expected Result:
When adding a new tab via the button or Ctrl + T, the address bar is
automatically focused so that users can immediately type the URL.
Current Result:
When opening a new tab, the new tab page is shown with bookmarks and top
sites but the user can't type immediately the URL they want to go to.
This might be more appropriate in windowed mode since most likely a physical
keyboard exists thus making it easier for the users to input the URL when
adding a new tab. In staged mode, focusing the address bar will show the OSK
which might not be desirable if the user wants to select from the bookmarks or
top sites instead of inputting its own URL.
