Relevant Gecko bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662496.

I don't see any reason to make autofocus conditional on page load. That's a totally arbitrary time. Might as well pick a fixed number of seconds from starting load. 

Item 8 of http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/association-of-controls-and-forms.html#attr-fe-autofocus says nothing about page load. It says that if the *user* indicated in some way that they want focus elsewhere the UA can ignore this attribute if they want to.

I'm going to close this bug. A new bug for ignoring autofocus if the user has started typing in an input might be worth considering. But I think we should only do that if this is a problem web pages are hitting in practice, which seems unlikely to me.
