Change to Tab button selecttttable items

[PeteSapai]

As of Firefox 67, they changed the items selected when using the tab button.

I use the Search Bar and before I could easily select it by pressing Ald+D (to select the URL bar) and then quickly jump to the Search Bar with Tab. However, now the Tab will select all of the items inbetween, like the Zoom Level button, the Page Actions button (which I've now removed by editing UserChrome.css, so that's one down), the CSS button, etc. Is there a way to revert to the old behaviour and removing all these buttons from the Tab button "jump list" (or whatever you'd call it)?


Also, when I tried to register, I answered '7' to the question "How many letters in Mozilla?:", and I got an error saying "You have provided an invalid answer to the question." Apparently there are 6 letters in 'Mozilla'..?

and before

Before, as in like FF 66?

(Ctrl+E will focus the Search box, fwiw.)

CTRL+K, too.

There's a preference for that:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste toolb and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the browser.toolbars.keyboard_navigation preference to switch the value from true to false

Changing browser.toolbars.keyboard_navigation works.

I didnt even know about Ctrl+K or +E, that's even better!

Thanks, everyone!

(Odd. Ctrl+K didn't work on my end when I tested, & that's why I posted [only] Ctrl+E.
Also note that F6 takes you to the URLbar (Alt+D, Ctrl+L), in many instances.
[It actually takes you to the next "frame", but if a page has no frames, it goes to URLbar.])
