Not a major issue, just an annoyance - I edit code online a lot and format (indent) lines with tabs, it's efficient as per filesize, saves hitting the spacebar eight times for each new line and keeps the file tidy for when you open it up on the host machine.  This used to be possible in within iframes in ff2 but no longer in ff3 - I've tried 3.0 & 3.0.2 on linux and 3.0 on windows and tabs take you to the next element on the page, as if the iframe were a regular textarea.  It's a real shame because it makes coding online a lot less enjoyable.

Try the 2 frames at http://codepress.org in the last ff2 and then in ff3

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find an editable iframe, like at http://codepress.org
2. Place the cursor on a new line (or anywhere in the frame)
3. Hit the tab key on your keyboard
Actual Results:  
Focus is given to next element on page

Expected Results:  
Tab character (\t) is inserted into iframe contentwindow.body
