(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

F6 should ...

"F6 cycles through location bar (allegedly) <--> web document.  If the web content contains frames, F6 cycles through location bar --> frame 1 --> frame 2 --> frame 3 --> location bar."

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=249735#c24
 
This no longer occurs.

Currently, F6 cycles through location bar --> frame 1 --> frame 2 --> frame 3 --> location bar.  But once on the location bar, focus is lost, & will cycle no further.
 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
 
1. Open URL
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/browser/front-end/testcases/drag-drop/drag-frame-to-frame/frame-test.html

2. Set focus to a frame
3. Hit F6 repeatedly
 
Actual Results:  
 
F6 cycles through the frames, goes to the Location Bar, then focus is lost.
 

Expected Results:  
  
F6 cycles through the frames, goes to the Location Bar, then cycles back to the frames ...
 

 
This happens in both SeaMonkey & Firefox.

I suspect what I am describing is the gist of Bug 434680
Note Neil's comment, about the focus ring.  That does not happen.

Some similar aspects here too, Bug 249735

Maybe one of Smaug's bugs?

If you put the Google search bar to the left of the location bar so that it comes first in the DOM tree then the search bar gets focus and not the location bar by pressing F6. If nothing happens then the icon seems to get focus: press the Tab key once to shift the focus to the text area. Also if the side bar is on with the bookmarks or the history then F6 switches through the text fields in the side bar and the first text area in the navigation toolbox and the browser window. I have the Google bar on the main menu bar and the location bar on the nav bar.

Yes, probably a dupe of bug 426850.
