User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0 Build ID: 20141125180439 Steps to reproduce: 1. Enter the search box in (new) Fox v. 34 2. Start typing 3. Alternate engine choices pop up 4. Use shift tab to back out of the search box, and 5. the focus lands on one of the alternate search engines 6. Try to tab forward, and cycle endlessly through the engines Expected results: First, get rid of the engine popup as an "everytime" event. It is distracting, and pointless. The old drop down box was simple and functional. Particularly dysfunctional in combination with the tabbing issue, next. Second. Get rid of the modal tabbing, that is, where a shift-tab + tab, leaves one stuck in the new V 34 engine area This disrupts using the shiftTab + Tab to back out and re-enter and select all, to start typing over prior entry (or to erase and start over)
Component: Untriaged → Search
Thanks for the report! The issue of not being able to use shift+tab anymore to go back to the location bar is already reported as bug 1104142.
