Prefs->Advanced->Cookies, click the "More Information" button.

There are several focus problems in this dialog.

1. The content of the dialog, the scrollable control that displays 
chrome://communicator/locale/wallet/privacy.html, isn't on the tab order.  It 
should be first on the tab order and take initial focus.

2. Something in the dialog that isn't a control can take focus.  This control 
gets initial focus.  (This is also a problem in the main prefs dialog; see 
bug 64052.)
Blocks bug 18575 (keyboard access to prefs).  Adding access keyword, and 
nominating for nsbeta1 to match other normal-severity bugs blocking 18575.

I have no idea what this bug report is saying.  Could you please give a detailed 
sequence of steps, reporting what you observe and what you expected to observe.  
Thanks.
Prefs->Advanced->Cookies, click the "More Information" button.

1. Press the 'down' arrow key.

Result: nothing happens, because the scrollable area doesn't have focus.
Expected: the area with html in it should scroll.  (Note that if I click on the 
field first, it works.)

2. Press tab several times.

Result: focus cycles between 'ok' button and something that isn't a control.
Expected: focus should cycle between 'ok' and the scrollable field, without
scrolling the field.


This bug prevents users from using the window with only the keyboard (although 
they can't get to it using only the keyboard either; see bug 64150).

This is a xul problem and not a problem specific to the cookie dialogs.

Is this still a bug?  Cookies isn't under Prefs > Advanced anymore, and there's
no More Information button that I can see.
Cookies are now under privacy instead of advanced.

But you are correct that there is no longer a "more information" button and that 
entire tutorial has been thrown out.  So this bug report is now invalid.
