FireFox "Hack" For Tabbed Form Navigation
August 18 2005
For the longest time, one of the only complaints that I have had about FireFox (on the Mac) is that when I fill out any forms, I cannot hit TAB to select a pulldown menu or a checkbox. It would just skip right over these. This resulted in every time I would fill out my address on a website or wanted to check the "remember info" box when logging in somewhere, I would have to manually do it.
For example, type NATHAN (TAB), type MOORE (TAB), type ADDRESS (TAB), type NEW YORK CITY (TAB), errr... skips to zip code rather than going to the pull down menu for all the states (which normally I would simply select and hit "N" until NEW YORK was selected)...
Anyways, I have found a fix to this annoyance. If you type "about:config" into the address bar in FireFox, it will pull up the configurations for the app. Use the search on that page to search for "tab." Find the setting that has the Preference Name of "ACCESSIBILITY.TABFOCUS" and double click the value field (default set to "1"). Change that "1" to a "7"
That's it. Now I am able to TAB freely between fields even pulldown menus and checkboxes. Ah. That's nice.

about:config has some interesting tweaks. If you're on broadband, try this:
Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true" by rightclicking and going to toggle
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" by rightclicking and going to toggle.
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30 by modifying the integer.
Create a new integer called by rightclick anywhere in the screen and new -> integer. Enter the name as nglayout.initialpaint.delay and integer value as 0.

Whoa! Formatting didn't stick. Oh well, you can get the gist. BTW, I got that from a friend of mine. Amazing results!

Im pretty sure you have to go to preference and change it. More over why don't you just use Safari.

I have just gotten used to using FireFox. Because I am a web developer, I check all my stuff in FireFox first, one of the only browsers that is available on all operating systems. I guess that is why I do not use Safari... I have nothing bad to say about Safari though... plenty of bad things to say about IE.
