A technique for making text fields read-only (rightly or wrongly) is with
onfocus="this.blur()". This sample page exhibits the defect:

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<form>
src: <input type=text name=infld  value=src>
<input type=button value=Copy
onClick="document.forms[0].outfld.value=document.forms[0].infld.value;"><br>
dst: <input type=text name=outfld value=dst onfocus="this.blur()">
</form>
</body>
</html>

I may have filed this in the wrong place and I am certainly not an expert HTML
or javascript programmer.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.click in src field of sample page
2.tab through to dst field
3.<hang>

Actual Results:  
Mozilla hangs/freezes. Windows is unaffected.

Expected Results:  
Focus should have cycled through to the address bar or back to the src field.
Upon further consideration, perhaps the focus (caret?) is cycling back in the
tab order only to be reset on the blurred field, which is causing an infinite loop.
This has already been fixed.
