[Chris]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140428194215

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a new browser window.
2. Open a Google Maps Engine link with multiple labels (e.g. [0])
3. Open some other tab
4. Attempt to switch between tabs using the Control+Tab keyboard shortcut.

I'm using Ubuntu Linux 12.10 with the XFCE window manager.

Actual results:

Once the Google Maps Engine tab is visible, the Tab key is stolen to toggle between labels (even when the Control key is pressed).  There is no way to switch to other tabs without using the mouse.


Expected results:

Toggle between open tabs.
