So I have a question, do you know if this is also a problem in Opera? I can't seem to tab at all on web pages I know are keybard accessible. Any ideas?

It is a little troubling that this problem exists with Firefox however. I wonder how many people have just put it down to shoddy form implementation in Firefox and switched to something else? It would be interesting to see if Firefox 3 can tab properly through forms on the Mac 'out-of-the-box' so to speak.
