Mentor bug?

This is probably easy enough to add KEYCODE_TAB to the switch at http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/android/base/BrowserApp.java#305 and write a function that sets the next elected tab through the existing tab list. Not sure how Private Tabs would want to be handled here if available.
