I'm pretty sure this is a really dumb question, but how do you tab into a
page using Firefox? When I tab to test tab order of links, my cursor only
goes to form elements, not links. Then it goes back up to the Firefox URL
field, out of the page itself. What am I forgetting? BTW, I'm not using
any screenreader or other AT software.
Thanks,
Jan

I assume you are using a Mac. Go to System Preferences… Keyboard…
Keyboard Shortcuts… and enable Full Keyboard Access.
If this doesn't work, follow the instructions for Firefox at

Thanks so much, Jared & Ryan. Yes, I recently switched from a PC to a Mac,
and I could have sworn I used to just be able to tab into a page. Jared's
instructions for System Preferences worked perfectly.
Much appreciated!
