I am a new Mac convert. I was using Firefox on Windows and when tabbing between fields on forms it always bounced to the next field, whether a blank box or a dropdown box. Firefox Mac (I believe Safari does it too) skips all dropdown boxes so I have to use the mouse. Is there a way to change the browser or whatever needs to be changed so when I tab, it tabs to all fields in forms, including the dropdowns?
Got a tip for us?

You CAN fix this behavior. Here's a link on how to do it: http://www.tonyspencer.com/2006/05/02/tab-skips-select-form-fields-in-mac-browsers/
The only thing missing from the article is that you need to be on the "Keyboard" tab of the Mouse & Keyboard system pref page.

Camino will tab to select controls (drop-downs, etc). I recommend giving it a try, it's also a Mozilla browser like FF.
