In Camino, this works. In FF 3.x, I was really hopeful that this would be solved thanks to the implementation of the OS X widgets but it does not appear to work (3.0b3). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Find a web page with buttons on it 2. Try tabbing to one. 3. Fail Actual Results: Tabs only between text boxes and the address/search fields. Expected Results: Tab should focus to a button if a button is next in the tab index. Please fix this. I use a hand scanner at work that is programmed to send a Tab at the end of each scan. I love FF and would love to be able to use this without hitting my touchpad every time I need to click Submit (which is really, really often).
