Enter and Tab keys stop working

Any developments on this issue? After a while in Firefox on OS 10.4 my
tab and enter keys stop working within the browser window. I can hit
shift-enter, and that works. But there's no workaround for the tab
key...

It's super annoying to have to crash the browser, and hope that it
retains the session with all your open tabs.

Thanks.

Why do you think this is a Firebug problem?
Check the issues list for similar reports: does it only happen in OS
10.4?
Which version of Firebug? Firefox->Tools->Addons->Firebug.

Is it firebug that's stopping tab/enter from working?

I have this issue frequently, twice today in fact.  I don't know what
causes it but restarting the browser fixes it.  I do have other add-
ons besides firebug enabled, so i cant be sure what the source of the
problem is...

And when you say "this issue", what is the problem? Chuck says
"tab and enter keys stop working within the browser window".
So I guess that tab and enter stop doing something they did before:
what is that something?  Is the operation that stops related to
Firebug?

If yes, are there any errors in the jsconsole (Firefox->Tools-
>ErrorConsole) just before the keys begin to fail or when pressed
after they fail?

I'll also confirm this issue which I'm pretty sure is caused by
firebug because I've only experienced the problem since installing
firebug a couple weeks ago.

The problem occurs after some arbitrary amount of time and is
evidenced by the tab key no longer working in Firefox (I've confirmed
it continues to work in other applications) and the enter key no
longer working (I'm experiencing the problem now and in order to enter
new lines in this message have to hit shift-enter).  Restarting
Firefox solves the issue for a while.

I'm using firebug 1.05 and Firefox 2.0.0.5 on OSX 10.4

When the Enter and Tabs keys are working perfectly, what do they do
for you? People keep saying they stop working but I don't know what
they mean because I don't know what they expect the keys to do when
they function properly.  The only place I see VK_TAB and VK_RETURN is
in the CommandLine code. Is that the use that you have for these keys?

Here's waht ahppens whtn tab key stops working:

If I'm in a textarea, I hit tab, nothing happens. The i-beam stays in
the same place.

location, search box, any form field - tab key doesn't work. once i
switch apps, I can use tab. If I restart FF, I can use tab.

Normally, the tab key should change focus to the next focusable
element (inp, link, et c), to the search box, et c.

I use firebug's large command line option - FWIW.

Sorry, apparently my reply post describing the issue didnt work...

"the issue": after entering a url in the location bar, usually hitting
enter will pull start page load request.  When "the issue" occurs the
enter key does nothing.  same is also true for submitting forms,
usually hitting enter will submit a form, when "the issue" occurs
enter will do nothing.

hope this helps!  like i said, i can not necessarily pin this on
firebug...

thanks!

Someone who has this problem could build a version of Firebug without
the key handlers for tab and return to see if the problem goes away.
Here's how:
1) Create a new profile for Firefox
  a) run firefox.exe -ProfileManager from your command line
  b) Create new, say you call it TabWorky start Firefox
2) Load firebug 1.1, http://fireclipse.xucia.com
3) Reproduce the problem.
4) Navigate to the firebug content in profile TabWorky,
  a)eg C:\Documents and Settings\John J. Barton\Application Data
\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\TabWorky
  b)cd  extensions\firebug@...\chrome\
5) Hack the jar file
  a) rename firebug.jar firebug.zip
  b) unzip firebug.zip
  c) edit content/firebug/bindings.xml
  d) remove the entire XML element <binding id="largeCommandLine" ...
  e) rezip
  f) rename firebug.zip firebug.jar
6) Try it.
7) Let us know.

I've had this issue pop up from time to time. And it appears to be
that the tab and enter key don't work for the ENTIRE firefox interface
which makes me think it's not a firebug issue..

The biggest problem with this issue is that I have no idea how to
REPRODUCE the problem.

I've had this happen on OSX and Windows.

If anyone knows of a way to reproduce the problem please let us know.

I don't think it's firebug, though many believe this is a firebug
issue:
(Another firebug thread about the same issue:
http://groups.google.com/group/firebug/browse_thread/thread/e5f99704e59eb0b2)

P.S. If you use the top right search toolbar, you can google a site
and still get around with out the enter key.

I'm uncertain, but I believe that the key binding mechanism that
Firebug uses modifies the entire Firefox UI.

Another idea: open two windows. The next time the issue occurs, let us
know if both windows fail or just one.

I've been having issues with this for a long time here.  Opening a new
window (regardless of the platform I'm on OS X 10.5 or XP) will fix
the problem in the new window but not the one currently open.  Effects
all tabs open in this window from that point forward in that window.
I use firebug on both platforms and have been able to rule out most of
the other extensions that I use as causing the problem.  I couldn't
say the same for firebug as i'm always using it.  I can't ever
reproduce the problem.  It seems to happen out of the blue regardless
of what I'm currently doing.  The main times I notice it of course
seem to be when I need to use the enter or tab keys, usually filling
out a form.  Any other information that you need let me know, it
happens often to me...  Thanks - billy

I love firebug, but I've been having this problem for a long long time
now and it has become a huge problem.  It's affecting my work.  I have
to fill out a lot of form fields every day in order to test and change
UI.  I'm afraid I'm going to have to remove firebug, which
unfortunately is also a large part of my workflow, but it's too big of
a pain to have to restart firefox all the time.  If anyone knows
anything else please let us know.

Thanks.  Firebug rocks.

Open firefox.  Immediately open a new window. Minimize one of them.
When you have the problem, kill the problem window, go back to the
minimized one, open a new window.

This won't get fixed until 1.2.  (Even then I don't know how to fix it
yet.)

John.

Just wanted to follow-up and say I"ve been having this problem for a
long time as well -- I haven't searched for this issue in a long time,
but now it appears to be getting search results.

I had this problem on Mac and Windows just the same.  Enter + Tab stop
working in forms, and I have to force quit the browser and re-open it
to get my tabs going.

Anyway, the benefit of the tool far exceeds this snag which, once
fixed, will straighten the crown on Firebug's head.

Thanks!

I've also had this problem, for many months now, in both XP and Vista.
It only happens when firebug is enabled.

It seems to happen most often when I have firebug open in 2 tabs at
once. In fact, this may be the only time it happens, but I'm not
positive. Shift+enter still works, but enter does not.
