On our intranet there is a HTML page with two frames. The left one is HTML (
with javascript , a menu ) , the right one is XML ( with XSL ). I can not select
a link in the XML frame with the TAB key. When I get to the end of the left
frame, the focus goes to the URL bar ( like ctrl-L ). Even if I select a link in
the XML frame with the mouse, pressing TAB immediatelly leaves the XML frame and
does not go back.

Strangelly, while writing this bug ( I use multiple tabs ) I went to the
problematic page and for a moment I had the focus in the XML frame and could
move around with the TAB key. But when I left the XML frame, I could not get
back any more ( with the TAB key, I could with the mouse of course ).

Sometimes when changing tabs with ctrl-TAB, the TAB key goes thru the links on
the previously visible page ( on the other tab ) and not on the currently
visible one...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Hello -- could you try it in a Mozilla 1.8a4 nightly? That has the next
generation of Firefox's layout engine which is under development. It has a lot
of improvements.

Don't install it over your current Firefox. You can uninstall it when you're done.

Also, could you attach a testcase URL to this bug? You could always post a
version that has all your sensitive intranet information to say something
generic like a repeating the alphabet.
