OS X and Tabs - Skipping Drop Down Controls

This was driving me crazy for this last week. Since moving to my new house I’ve been without internet for a week. Comcast is supposed to come tomorrow to hook up my house, but until then I’ve been mooching of relatives’ WI-FI on my Mac Book Pro. This has forced me to use it for all of my work, including web development and graphics design. However, while tabbing through forms on websites, the tab would skip over drop down boxes. Why this is the default is beyond me. It is not user friendly at all. Fortunately I found through a website how to change it. Of course the OS X elite call this change simple and easy, but I’d think it’d be easy to just have it work in the first place.

Why Doesn’t Tab Work for Drop-down Controls in Firefox on OS X?
