Hi,
I am using the latest Firefox on Mac OS X. When I navigate web forms using the tab key, only input boxes will receive focus. Select boxes and other controls will be skipped. Is this a bug or is there a configuration parameter that I should set?
Thanks,

I found this and it works
I set it up manually and set the integer to 3.

Google search wrote:Even though I turned full keyboard access on in OS X, Firefox would not allow me to tab to form elements besides text fields (i.e. no buttons, drop downs, etc.). If you go to "about:config" in Firefox, you can set the accessibility.tabfocus property. According to the knowledge base, accessibility.tabfocus:
Determines which web page elements can gain focus when [Tab] key is pressed. 1: Text field form controls only 2: All form controls except text fields 3: All form controls 4: Hyperlinks and hyperlinked images 7 (default): All form controls and hyperlinks
I chose 7 as this is the Windows default. Update: In FireFox 1.5, I had to right click in the "about:config" window and manually create the accessibility.tabfocus entry.
