This bug was filled based on the discussion from bug 1017423 comment 17. Reproducible on the latest Nightly (BuildID: 20140604030202) Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.9; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0 Steps to reproduce: 1. Open about:preferences. 2. Click on a category item (e.g: Privacy). 3. Click on a radio button (e.g: Tell sites that I do not want to be tracked). 4. Press Tab until the "Learn more" link has a focus around it. 5. Press shift+Tab once to get focus back on the radio buttons. 6. Press up and down to move between the radio buttons. Actual results: Nothing happens. The focus doesn't move to the next radio-button. Expected results: The focus moves to the next radio-button.
comment #0 describes the work around here. the actual results are that the radio buttons will cycle focus after following the steps, this is due to the work-around in steps 4 and 5. the bug here is that steps 4 and 5 shouldn't be necessary to move between radio buttons, but maybe this is platform convention on mac.

The behaviour described here is correct on Mac.
