I use firefox to browse the net (various versions). On the wikipedia website the cursor is not in the search box by default. When I type "search" in order to jump to the text "search" just above the box it doesn't highlight that text - most other website on the internet does. Also while on the website the <ALT> keyboard shortcuts to open the various menus doesn't work either.
For the first, that's normal. Wikipedia is primarily a content site, for *reading*. The space, pageup/pagedown, and cursor keys are expected to function for normal scrolling. On the entry portal at http://www.wikipedia.org/ you will find the focus is in the search box, but not on Wikipedia's content pages. For the second, report the bug to Mozilla at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org if it persists with Firefox 2.0. For the third, upgrade to Firefox 2.0; it has changed the web shortcut keys so they no longer interfere with regular menus on Windows and Linux. For future reference, please report separate issues separately.
