User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:90.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/90.0
Steps to reproduce:
open to tabs
open Settings / Certificate Manager popup dialog.
press ctrl+tab
Actual results:
the tabs of the Certificate Manager dialog are switched
the next browser tab is brought to view
Expected results:
the tabs of the Certificate Manager dialog SHOULD NOT be switched
the next browser tab is brought to view
nightly test: can't test, as clicking the "Firefox Nightly" item in Windows start menu just opens a new window in the already running Firefox v90

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Security' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Hi,
I believe the Ctrl+tab shortcut is meant to work no matter which sub-menu you have open.
This is the same with the certificate manager as it is with the rest of the sub-menus you can open from about:preferences.
It also works the same on Firefox Nightly.
Why do you think this is an issue?
The sub-menu you have opened before switching tabs with ctrl+tab does stay open in the about:preferences tab.

What other sub-menus do you mean? I tried to find another dialog in Settings that behaves like that but found none.
Also, you say "menu", I said "dialog".
Let me put it another way:
pressing ctrl+tab switches tabs, but additionally the old tab content (the web page) "sees" the keyboard input and reacts to it.
PS: This is more a GUI issue than security, so the bug Component should probably not be "Security". Although "web pages see key-presses they shouldn't" could be maybe exploited.

Certificate Manager bugs seem to live in Security: PSM.
