When I open a new tab, it takes me to the homepage and selects the search bar, allowing me to type there. It used to select the url bar, and I want it to do this again when it opens a tab. How do I get it to do this?

The focus should be set to the location bar if you open a new tab by clicking the plus button on the tab bar if the new tab page isn't set to about:home.
If that doesn't happen then you may have an extension of them preventing this.

If you want the focus on the location bar without having a problem that the URL is not selected then set the browser.newtab.url pref to about:blank.
