Steps to reproduce:
1. Ctrl+T (or Alt+D if you already have multiple tabs open) 
2. Ctrl+Tab

Result: nothing happens
Expected: switch tabs. (I don't know whether focus should remain in the address
bar or go to whatever had focus when the switched-to tab was last selected.)

Could be related to bug 227887, "Ctrl+Tab doesn't work in failed (gray,
completely blank) tab".

This might be related to bug 223675, since I tried this under Linux and it
failed to switch tabs.

Ctrl + tab works from the addressbar (with or without a new tab) for me using a
recent linux (GTK2) nightly.  Ctrl+tab first gives focus to the content area and
then swiiches ttabs. Ctrl + PgUp and Ctrl + PgDn appear to open the addess
dropdown widget instead of switching tabs.

It's supposed to switch tabs even if the address bar has focus.

Ctrl-Tab AND Ctrl-Shift-Tab works when the address bar AND the search bar has
focus. This bug is definitely not present on Linux anymore.

I've also noticed that if a text field on the web page itself has focus,
ctrl-page up and page down are either ignored, or pull down the completion
listing for that field.

When the address bar is pulled down (showing the list), control-tab still
doesn't switch tabs for me. Shall I file a different bug?  Running nightly
MacOSX/10.3.4 build.

tested with recent aviary1.0 branch bits (mac 7/15; win xp and linux rh9 7/21),
and ctrl+[shift]+tab, ctrl+pagedn/up switch tabs, whether focus is in the
location bar, page content or search field. vrfy'ing as fixed.
