Safari 17.3.1 kind-of has a footgun here too, but in their case things are a bit different: (a) Safari's alert `OK` button simpliy doesn't ever get any any focus-ring styling at all, no matter how hard I try to grant it tab-focus. So they're not doing some sort of suppre (b) when you press Tab in the comment 0 STR, there's a much more substantial/in-your-face UI change (their awesomebar gets focused and it pops up its autocomplete-panel -- it's the next thing in the focus-order, for them). That's a much clearer signal that I'm not focusing the thing that I intended to focus. (In comparison, in Firefox, the Firefox-View focusring that appears when I press Tab is quite easy to miss, since it's small and at the very corner of your screen/peripheral vision.) So this feels like a Firefox-specific issue at this point, I think.
