Details

Once you have tabbed into the location bar, it is not possible to tab out again to navigate the link. I'm using 2000092608. This makes Mozilla inoperable for those who can't or don't use a pointing device. (I'm writing this in IE because my system doesn't have a mouse at present (too lazy to unplug it from my Linux machine)).
lake/claudius/radha, is there already a bug for this?

One other minor thing which is related to this bug: You can't tab INTO the location bar. In IE and Netscape 4, the first time you press Tab the focus is placed in the Location area. The next tab selects the first link or form element on the page. It would be helpful if Mozilla would support this (or some other way of keyboard navigating to the Location area, like Opera's F6), since it's a behavior many browser users have come to expect.
This looks like a dup of bug 44257.
Tabbing *to* the location field is bug 31809. Tabbing *from* the location field, as Koike spotted, is bug 44257. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 44257 ***
