YouTube Player Keyboard Trap

Has anyone encountered the YouTube player keyboard trap?

Specifically, the HTML 5 player lets you tab through the controls (Yeah!), but then won't let you tab past them (Noooooo!). Successive tabbing just cycled through the player controls in an endless loop. I found this while using Firefox on a Mac.

See example at https://tailgate.tlt.psu.edu/media/

Any information or solution ideas appreciated.

Thanks

Elizabeth
