rfe: include unlinked images in tabbing cycle. right now, when you set your tabbing navigation pref to "all", unlinked images are not included in the tabbing cycle. if we do add this, i would also change the default pref (at least for win32 and unix) to *not* include unlinked images in the cycle --mainly since they're current defaults are "all". i don't think it'd be common usage to include such objects in the cycle, although users should have the choice to do so (hence this rfe).

Sairuh, just to be clear-- you're saying there should be a pref for this, and it would not be the default, correct?

there are probably two issues here: 1. as you said, there should be a pref for this && it shouldn't be the default. 2. i'm too sure/clear on this, but i don't think we're currently able to tab to unlinked images anyhow. for example, if you go to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org and hit the tab key, you won't focus the SEM photo of the ant --it's just skipped. (my tabbing pref is currently set to "all", too.) as a semi-related tangent, see bug 171003.

Sairuh, is this summary change okay with you?

sure.

The issue here is that images are actually interactive, because you can get a context menu for one and do things with the image. Keyboard-only users have no way to focus the image to get the context menu. Maybe we should make use of browse with caret for this. I'm just not sure what other UI we'd use.

Not a sec508 bug. You can get to all the options for images via Tools -> Page Info -> Media

Mark, any ideas on what to do about this problem?
