[edit] BackgroundPressing [Tab] when a web page is in focus will move the focus from element to element. This is helpful when moving to a link you’d like to visit or moving between form fields without using the mouse. This preference determines which elements can be focused by pressing [Tab]. Note: In OS X (as of 2005-01), if this preference is not explicitly set, the “Full Keyboard Access” setting in System Preferences will be honored. All builds before that date (e.g., Firefox 1.0.x) will ignore that setting. [edit] Possible values and their effects[edit] 1Give focus to text fields only. (The default in OS X.) [edit] 2Give focus to all form elements except text fields. [edit] 4Give focus to links (and linked images) only. [edit] (Other)You can add any of the above values together to combine their functionality. That is, setting this preference to 3 (i.e., 1 + 2) will let you focus both text fields and other form elements. Outside of OS X, the default value for this preference is 7 (1 + 2 + 4), or focusable text fields, form elements, and links. Note that at the moment, it is impossible to disable tabbing to text fields; even values for this pref act like their corresponding odd value. See the Related Bugs section below.
