Description

We've got tabindex attributes on form elements in a lot of forms to make tab order feel natural...

Unfortunately something seems awry in Firefox 3.0 beta (tested betas 3 and 4). Going to Special:Userlogin and hitting tab *should* bump you straight into the username field, but on FF 3 you have to go through all the links on the page first. :(

Not sure if this is some problem with our markup or if it's just a FF regression.

Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

Perhaps (not sure) FF assumes a tabindex of 0 for all those links, which don't have a tabindex with them.

Filed upstream as https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422532

Upstream duped to older bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383109

There's some sort of patch and it's marked as blocking Gecko 1.9, so let's keep our fingers crossed. :D

Upstream https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383109 marked as fixed; the patch causing the regression has been backed out. Fix here when the next beta comes out and proves it. :)

Confirmed good in 3.0RC1. :D
