Thanks,

I was leaning toward treating this as a problem on our side. We are also getting keyboard traps in edit fields in FF. Something appears to be wrong with some of our scripting.

I do not experience what you do. Maybe there is a coding problem in your page?
The following code works fine in forms / non-forms mode.
I tried it with NVDA too.
<p><label>Account# (implicit label):<input type="text" readonly name="accName1" id="accName1" value="2421223259" /></label></p> <p><label for="accName2">Account#:</label> <input type="text" readonly name="accName2" id="accName2" value="2421223259" /></p>

IE 11.0.960
JFW 16.0.4463

Regards and best wishes
