(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

Description

[Dan Jacobson]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:12.0a2) Gecko/20120309 Firefox/12.0a2 Iceweasel/12.0a2
Build ID: 20120309042010

Steps to reproduce:

Hit ENTER when asked "Remember Password?"


Actual results:

Nothing.


Expected results:

Just like any other 'alert' message that shows up on top of the screen,
one should not be required to dig up the mouse to click it,
the ENTER key should do the job.

I think this is default behaviour for any Firefox prompt (telemetry, Know your rights)-the focus remains on the page and the prompt. Remember Password can be accessed via Tab+Enter. This is also the behaviour in Chrome, for what I can see.

(And actually with so many "inputs" on pages these days, entering Enter is downright dangerous. Could send FORMs flying down the pipes just as if one hit Submit...)
