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.
