I couldn't find an explanation or other bug report so:
In Firefox 3.0 it was possible to "double-click" a tab which enabled the control and then one was able to navigate through the tabs by using the arrow keys on the keyboard (left/right).
This doesn't work anymore with FF 3.5b4.

It's not true : hit Ctrl+K, then hit Tab - you still can use arrows to change from tab to tab & all other (very useful!) functionality.
What's true - it's not possible to focus tab with a click anymore.
While I use tricks to get back tab focus with keyboard shortcut now, I still think it's really dumb & even rude to kill this feature totally.
Clicking tab with 'modificator key' pressed to gain focus would work for us geeks who were supportive & loyal to Mozilla for years.
