1. Go to www.google.com
2. Enter a search query
3. Press <tab>
Actual Results:  
Firefox cycles through other UI elements: Location Bar, search box, viewport

Expected Results:  
Tab through the form, search box, Google Search, I'm Feeling Lucky ...

Hmm, this works for me.

Are you able to reproduce this bug if you make a new firefox profile for a
test?

If I use a new firefox profile, the bug is still reproducible.

I was able to reproduce this bug today. Tested with a new profile, all add-ons disabled.

It's also worth nothing that this also happens with Drop-Down fields in web pages.

Steps to Reproduce:
0) Created a new profile using the Profile Manager. All Add-Ons disabled.
1) Loaded page: http://www.google.com/
2) Clicked on the search field.
3) Typed "testy" for integrity.
4) Tabbed, only once. Focus went to the address bar.

Expected Results:
Based off my experience with Firefox on Windows, I expected it to tab to the next form button.

Tested in both trunk and stable, it tabs to the buttons correctly.

Comment 5

[Nathan2055]

I tested on Windows, does this issue still exist for you?

Comment 6

[Dron Rathore]

Can't reproduce, WFM! Can you provide little more info on it?

Comment 7

[KLB]

As others noted, this works for me. If more details provided bug can be reopened.

Comment 8

To be noted, its a google's JS that wont let you do that. There are KeyBoard Event listeners blocking things.

Thanks :)
