How can I get the tab key to select text fields only?

Since upgrading to Firefox 4 on Windows, the tab key functions differently. How do I change it so that it only selects text input fields?

The answer is:  The bug is in the UI.  Speech recognition was enabled, by default it uses the bare escape key as a "mic on" indicator, and it does not leave any trace in the keybord configuration.  So that is the bug.  It needs to leave a trace there, a la: "X Listen-for-voice-command  ^" under Mission Control.

  • How can I get the tabs back where they belong beneath the address bar , NOT on top ???

    how can I get the tabs back where they belong beneath the address bar , NOT on top ???
    they are on top, which puts the address bar at a variable position depending on how many tab rows exist - makes a moving target for navigating to across my dual 24 inch screens
    I tried your "solution" using about:config and setting browser.tab.on.top or whatever to false, but that had NO effect
    Maybe because TabMixPlus is installed?
    It does allow putting the tabs all the way at the bottom, but I don't like that either.
    PLEASE, give me the address bar at TOP with tabs under that!!!
    Also, I don't want FlashGot to be at the right of the address bar!!!

    why should we use yet another add on to get the tabs back at the bottom? Big mistake.
    Moreover, why make FF look more like Chrome? If I wanted Chrome, i would have installed it long time ago.
    FF 29.0 is NOT an improvement.
    Nasty piece of mud.

  • How can I get the product key of my HP 250

    Hi,
    I contacted Microsoft concerning the Product key of my hp 250 G1 for activation. I have been trying to activate it since last year but I could not.

If I tried to activate my Windows it would prompt me to buy another Product key which is worth to buy another laptop. Please I need your support and assistance to get the Product keys for activation. Thank you. The Product no is: H6E14EA#ABV

  • How can I get the escape key to work again?

    I've used "esc" to get out of VI's insert mode for 40 years. I am not going to relearn that keystroke as "ctl-esc", period. Even if I were to do that, then I'd be typing ctl-esc on other platforms where it would not work because I have to type "esc" alone. If there is a way to fix in in System Preferences->keyboard, I cannot find it. If there is not, then it is completely 100% brain-dead wrong. I hope that's not the case.  So there is definitely a bug:
    The key-up event on the escape key does not cause the escape key code to be delivered to the active window when no other key is pressed, or
    The UI is sufficiently obtuse that the cause of the suppression cannot readily be found.
    I do hope it is merely the latter because I am compelled to use Outlook and Outlook does not work properly under OS/X 10.6.  (Our Exchange Server is rigged to only allow Outlook clients to send email outside of the company.)
    Thank you.

  • How Can i send the data entered in Input text fields to e-mail?

    Iam Jennifer, Iam having a doubt in Flash, I hope that you
    are going to solve my problem, Iam taking 3 Static text fields as
    Name, Age and Country and besides each and every static text fields
    i have taken 3 input text fields with different instance names,
    when i enter my Name, Age and Country details in the input text
    fields and after entering those details if user clicks the submit
    button the data should be send to some mail address, is it possible
    Im not so good at action script, but i hope that any one can
    help me...
    Iam attaching the action script code also, please find the
    attachment below, the actions are given to button.
    Attach Code
    Btn.onPress = function ()
    mail_lv = new LoadVars();
    mail_lv.dummy1 = "";
    mail_lv.subject = "Details";
    mail_lv.message = "hi";
    mail_lv.username = "name_txt".text;
    mail_lv.age = "age_txt".text;
    mail_lv.country = "country_txt".text;
    mail_lv.onLoad = function ()
    trace("Sent successfully...");
    trace("mail_lv.subject = " + mail_lv.subject);
    trace("mail_lv.message = " + mail_lv.message);
    mail_lv.send("mailto:[email protected]", "_blank");

    The names of your variables, "name_txt", for instance, should
    NOT have quotes around them. Use:
    mail_lv.username = name_txt.text;
    mail_lv.age = age_txt.text;
    mail_lv.country = country_txt.text;

  • How can I get the special keys on my external Cherry keyboard to work?

    Hi,
    so I'd like to get my external Cherry Evolution Stream XT keyboard fully supported. How would I go on about that?
    I know there [is a guide on that issue](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ex … ys_in_Xorg), but how do I know which keycode/number the volume and other media keys on my external keyboard have?
    So I found out the keycodes to the "hotkeys" with xev, just as described on the wiki page:
    keycode 122 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
    keycode 121 = XF86AudioMute
    keycode 123 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
    keycode 173 = XF86AudioPrev
    keycode 172 = XF86AudioPlay
    keycode 171 = XF86AudioNext
    keycode 77 = Num_Lock
    Do I have to put them into  ~/.Xmodmap and it'll be fine? I don't think it could work that way since these keycodes are probably only true for the Cherry keyboard, but not hte Thinkpad's own keyboard.

    But what's the command I have to enter? I have been googling the commands, but I can't figure out what kind of "action" I have to assign to that XF86...LowerVolume key.
    SOLVED it myself
    I coincidently discovered that I had to install asla-utils for the command to work, so I assigned
    amixer set Master 10%+
    and other versions and it works. Will have to find some matches for toggling, I guess I'll find them eventually.

  • In an outgoing email message the "attach" document icon does not work in firefox. It does work when using internet explorer. How can I get the "attach" key to work when using firefox?

    Using firefox, if I am composing a new message in my hotmail account the "attachment" icon is not active, so nothing happens when I click on it in order to attach one of my word documents.
    The "attachment" icon is active when I am using hotmail and internet explorer.

    Firefox 3 will not run on OS X 10.3.9, it requires at least 10.4
    Try one of these browsers to see if you can access Hotmail - [http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey1.1.19/ SeaMonkey 1.1.19] or [http://caminobrowser.org/download/ Camino 1.6.11]

  • I google a topic, then select one. New tab reads something like "search.asp (GIF Image, 1x1 pixels), page is blank. Usually can enter web address to get webpage, not always. What does"GIF Image" message mean? How can I get the tabs to open normally?

    Have Firefox 3.6.17 on Windows 7, although right now when I look under Help it says Downloading Firefox 3.6.17 and there's an "in progress" circle.

    Thank you, jscher2000, for posting this answer to my question, and I'm sorry I've taken so long to reply.
    Yes, it was my security software. I found out that .GIF files are very commonly used for internet graphics, particularly animations and ads. I use Kaspersky Internet Security. I had the anti-banner setting enabled, which stopped the display of .GIF files. I'd rather not see all the ads, but I've found I can very easily disable the anti-banner setting to view a particular page and then enable it again to avoid the ads when I read the news. There aren't that many pages that are entirely made up on .GIF files.
    Again, thanks muchly!

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

  • How can i get the all values from the Property file to Hashtable?

    how can i get the all values from the Property file to Hashtable?
    ok,consider my property file name is pro.PROPERTIES
    and it contain
    8326=sun developer
    4306=sun java developer
    3943=java developer
    how can i get the all keys & values from the pro.PROPERTIES to hashtable
    plz help guys..............

    The Properties class is already a subclass of Hashtable. So if you have a Properties object, you already have a Hashtable. So all you need to do is the first part of that:Properties props = new Properties();
    InputStream is = new FileInputStream("tivoli.properties");
    props.load(is);
