If you use Firefox, you'll...

If you use Firefox, you’ll be frustrated to learn that it doesn’t honor this setting; making Firefox allow tabbing to all form elements is less than intuitive — but it can be done! The short version is that you have to set “accessibility.tabindex” to “7”; the long version can be found at http://sidesh0w.com/weblog/2004/09/01/tabindexosxfirefox/.

By the way — setting this setting to 7 will allow tabbing to every form item and every link. if you just want to tab to form items (and not links), set the value to 3.
