Usually OS X 'Tiger' only lets you tab between text box and list controls but it
is possible to change this to allow tabbing between all controls (buttons, check
boxes, radio buttons etc...).

When this option is set Firefox still only tabs between text boxes.

The 'Full keyboard access' option is under 'Keyboard & Mouse' on the 'Keyboard
Shortcuts' tab.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open System Preferences, navigate to Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts
2. Set 'Full keyboard access' to 'All controls'
3. Attempt to tab between controls in Firefox

Actual Results:  
Firefox only moves focus onto text box controls, ignoring check boxes, buttons,
combo boxes and radio buttons.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should move focus between all controls when the tab button is pressed,
including buttons, radio buttons, check boxes and combo boxes.

No problem, thanks for testing Firefox
