Firefox skips drop-down fields in Mac

Problem: When I use the TAB key to navigate web page forms in which there is a drop-down field (address “state” is the most common drop-down field I come across), it skips to the next free-form field instead.

Solution:

1. In the url bar, type: about:config and press the Enter key. That will open a page that shows the Firefox preferences.
2. Find the pref accessibility.tabfocus (you can use the Filter bar) and change the value to 7.

If you don’t have that pref, you’ll have to create a new one.

1. Right click and choose: New > Integer.
2. Name: accessibility.tabfocus
3. Value: 7
