Do you mean you expect tabbing will move in circles through the dialog, or do you mean that there are certain elements in the dialog that can't be reached with the tab key?

in this case, the tab is not moving to the buttons. It get stop from the text box and then jump to the search text box. For example, if the link add open, tab should move to link and cancel after the link text box. but in this situation from the link text box it directly goes to Search box which is in the top of the screen.

Similiar problem in chrome. Is this a $j-ui bug?

On the Mac, by default controls that don't take text input (like buttons, checkboxes, and radio buttons) aren't selectable through hitting tab.

You can change this through System Preferences; here's a random blog post explaining how that I found on google: http://www.paulmc.org/whatithink/2007/12/14/using-tab-to-select-dialog-box-buttons-in-mac-os-x/

Confirmed that tabbing through the dialog controls seems to work fine for me (I keep this preference on since it's so handy!) -- Mac OS X 10.6.6, Firefox 4.0b11.
