Tabbing thru a webpage, skips pulldown items

[techmonkey]

Whenever I browse a webpage with an input form (Name, Address, etc), I use the tab key to go to the next field. When Im my Mac, it skips the pulldown fields, typically the "State". This doesnt happen on my Windows machine. I am using Firefox.

Any ideas?

To to System Prefs -> Keyboard & Mouse ->Keyboard Shortcuts
On the bottom, select the radio button "All Controls".

Alternatively, you could hit ^-F7 (that's Control and F7). You should now be able to tab to drop down lists.

Thanks, that was it

Any reason why you wouldnt want that checked? Why isnt this the default setting?
