304457 - Can't tab between location and search boxes

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Graveyard :: RSS Discovery and Preview, defect)

Description

[Mark Mentovai]

Since bug 303848, it's impossible to tab forward from the location bar to the
search bar, using the default toolbar.

To reproduce, focus the location bar and press tab.  You expect focus to go to
the search bar, but it doesn't.  Instead, the entire contents of the location
bar are selected.

Shift-tabbing back from the search bar to the location bar works properly.

I'm experiencing this on the Mac, but I'm told that it affects all platforms.

I can confirm this in a FF nightly on Windows XP (20050812). I see the same
behavior (can't tab between location bar and Google search bar). In addition, I
can't tab out of the location bar at all.

Attachment: Make feed view button not focusable/tabbable. We still need a way to make this feature kbd accessible, but this fixes the broken tabbing.
