Users on Mac OS X can not use the tab key to bring focus on drop down menus. The drop down menu is simply skipped and focus is brought to the next text field.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit a website with text boxes and drop down menus on Mac OS X.
2. Put focus on first text box.
3. Try to use tab to bring focus to a drop down menu.
Actual Results:  
Only text boxes are focused on. Tab menus are skipped.

Expected Results:  
Tab should bring focus to drop down menus.

I marked this as major as this affects people who would not be able to use a mouse.
