I noticed this while exposing keyboard prefs in bug 169489.

When using the pref:
user_pref("accessibility.tabfocus", 1);
it is supposed to mean that you can only tab to textfields.

However, when that pref is set you cannot tab to the URL bar, or even use
Accel+L to get there.

I would say that you should always be able to use Accel+L to get to the URL bar.
Tabbing to the URL bar should definitely work if the pref says textfields can be
tabbed to.
hm, isn't this a variation of bug 169767? (if not, then could this be a regression?)
Have patch.

even though i reopened bug 169767, this does appear to work on mac.
vrfy'd fixed on mac 10.2.3, linux rh8.0 and win2k with
user_pref("accessibility.tabfocus", 1); set. tested with 2003.01.08 trunk builds.
