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

Steps to reproduce:

Put away your mouse.

Hit TAB 35 times.
We are now on the 35th link in the document,
as shown by the black dotted box.

Now hit HOME. We are now back at the top of the document.

Now hit TAB again.


Actual results:

Note how we are now back at the 36th link.


Expected results:

...instead of the first as expected.

Chromium has the same bug.

OK, call it a feature... that the user has to now hit SHIFT-TAB 36 times to get back to the first link.

> Chromium has the same bug.

It's not a bug because home key (and End, pgdn, pgup) don't change focus location.  Same occurs in IE
