when filling out a textbox with maxlength property, firefox successfully stops
input at maxlength. however, you may tab to the next input, then shift-tab to
back to the textbox and input an extra character, but only one (although the
process may be repeated ad infinitum).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. focus textbox
2. do input to maxlength
3. tab to next input
4. shift-tab to textbox
5. enter another character

Actual Results:  
maxlength property was violated. and how.

Expected Results:  
not allowed for extra input.
