Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:80.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/80.0
Steps to reproduce:
Can't Tab between page elements on the page. I think I can tab only between input fields.
Actual results:
It would select the whole page and then return back to the Firefox UI. Or jump between input fields on the page if they are available on the page.
Expected results:
You should be able to Tab between Page Elements like links and buttons. Following these steps resolved issue, but not obvious for most of the users
"In Firefox, type "about:config" in the URL bar. There is no accessibility.tabfocus preference on the mac, so you'll have to make one. Right click in the window, create a new "Number" pref, and set it to 7."
It could be a breach of Canadian Web Accessibility Laws.

Hi Geroge,
I tried to see if it also happens on my side but it works ok on my macOS 10.13.
Are you experiencing this on a specific site or it is everywhere?
Do you have a screenreader enabled on any other external application that interferes with Firefox?
Can you please try to disable your addons (if you have any) using Safe Mode and see if this is still reproducible?

Bugbug thinks this bug should belong to this component, but please revert this change in case of error.

Firefox honours the Mac system preferences here. See bug 1628476 for details (and a proposed change to this behaviour).
