I have tested this issue on Windows 10 x64 with the latest Firefox release (47.0) and the latest Nightly (50.0a1-20160626030213) and could not reproduce it.
After opening tabindexExample.html in Firefox, when pressing the Tab key, each element gets focused and outlined, including the element with the attribute tabindex="0".

Also could you please try to reproduce with the attached testcase and if you are unable please attached a simplified testcase which reproduces the issue.

Also the priority and severity has been changed to normal, as the developers are more suitable to assign the required values for these flags.

This is correct. There shouldn't be a focus ring shown when calling focus() on an element by default on Windows, unless you have the control panel setting enabled to show them.

If you think this is a still a bug, reopen with a clearer testcase and steps to reproduce.
