Although I have been using macOS for a long time, I only switched to Firefox as my main development browser while I used Windows 10.
Now that I am back on a MacBook for my new job, I am shocked to see that it is ludicrously difficult to enable tabfocus for hyperlinks.
NB: this is unrelated to enabling proper focus behaviour in the keyboard system preferences; that’s the first thing I do on any new account.
After a search, it appears that it is still necessary to
- visit
about:config
(wot?) - accept the risk disclaimer (wot??)
- create a new setting with the name
accessibility.tabfocus
(wot???) - assign it the number value
7
(wot???)
I hope I am missing something, but this seems to have been going on for years. I fail to see how that is considered acceptable.
