Hi Brian:
I almost never use this facility. Like you I find the keystrokes
required to do this more trouble than it's worth. It seems strange to
me that this feature is not provided for users of Internet Explorer. I
think that it would be much better if pressing tab would take you to the
beginning of content in the tab panel. this is an example of a problem
that many users will experience because there is no standard way to use
these elements.

I was wondering how intuitive JAWS users find the shortcut for jumping
to a tabpanel container when interacting with an ARIA Tab
group in Firefox.
