Mozilla Firefox F6 is buggy

Done some searching, and have found that the failure occurs from the following nightly builds:
2008-03-20 - Pass
2008-03-21 - Fail

Not strictly Vista.

Also on windows server 2003

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008040303 Minefield/3.0pre

Confirming this on Linux as well.
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008040304 Minefield/3.0pre ID:2008040304

This is probably for all builds.

Definitely see it on XP.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008032714 Minefield/3.0pre

Also in XP
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; ru; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008032620 Firefox/3.0b5

*** Bug 428503 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Confirmed in Linux (Ubuntu 8.04) with included package (Fx3b5) and latest nightly trunk.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; es-AR; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008041514 Firefox/3.0b5

Also, if you do these cycle:

1.- Press F6 (location bar selected).
2.- Press F6 (nothing selected, even if you press F6 many times).
3.- Press Shift+F6 (main content selected, even if you press Shift+F6 many times)
4.- Press F6 (location bar selected again).

Weird...

This Bonsai query shows what changed between those two builds:

http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsquery.cgi?treeid=default&module=all&branch=HEAD&branchtype=match&dir=&file=&filetype=match&who=&whotype=match&sortby=Date&hours=2&date=explicit&mindate=2008-03-20&maxdate=2008-03-21+05%3A00&cvsroot=%2Fcvsroot

This is unfortunate but given:

a) You can focus location bar it is focusing out that is broken
b) It shipped in Beta5 with this without any dups here

I think we can't hold FF3 for this. If we get a patch we can take it in 3.0.1 or RC2 (if there is one).

I can confirm the bug too. I'm on FF 3.0B5 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008032620 Firefox/3.0b5)

It is possible to use the Keyconfig add-on though to work around this bug. That I have also described here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=3393753#3393753

Just confirming that this bug "shipped" on Firefox 3.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0 ID:2008052906

Maybe this is not a bug after all, as per the documentation http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Keyboard+shortcuts to "Select Location Bar" the shortcuts are:
Windows: "Alt+D" and "Ctrl+L"
Linux: "Alt+D" and "Ctrl+L"
Mac OS: "F6" and "Cmd+L"

So anyone can confirm on Mac OS? But even on Windows and Linux "F6" half works as per the original description of the bug.

My 2¢

Alex: Also in the documentation you gave above, it says that F6 now 'Moves to Next Frame' and Shift+F6 'Moves to Previous Frame'. Essentially we still should be able to cycle through all the frames in a circle: Frame 1>Frame2>Frame3>Frame1 and not get stuck at frame 2.

Confirmed for me on Windows XP SP3, FF v3.0.1 on 7/16/08
Somebody for the love of god FIX THIS ><

A smaller regression range is

Smaug, could this be caused by one of your bugs?

Is that really the right regression range - how strange.

If I can rely on the correctness of the ID's of builds, yes.
ID 2008032103 WFM; ID 2008032107 fails.

I've just double checked - the above ranges are correct.

Just to report that this still broken on:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1a1) Gecko/2008072310 Shiretoko/3.1a1 ID:2008072310

Reconfirmed in 3.0.3

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3

Running XP Pro/Corp SP3.

We don't need additional reconfirmations for every version that comes out. This is a confirmed bug in the Firefox 3.x codebase, and there's been no fix coming, nor does it look like Smaug understands what in his patch could have caused it.

Aaron/Marco: have any other problems with frame navigation come up?

Worksforme in

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1b2pre) Gecko/20081109 Minefield/3.1b2pre

Very strange.

Worksforme too, Linux/trunk.

Verified with Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1b2pre) Gecko/20081110 Minefield/3.1b2pre
+ previous comments

Would be great if someone has time to write a mochitest (or perhaps browser-chrome test) for this.

rv:1.9.1b2pre is a beta release isn't it?
Most up-to-date stock listing is rv:1.9.0.3
Technically not resolved until patched to mainstream releases.

Bugs in bugzilla are resolved when they're fixed on the development trunk. Flags indicate whether or not the fix is backported to one of the stable branch. Since it's not clear what fixed this, it's unlikely to be fixed on the 3.0 branch.

*** Bug 484642 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Re-opening as bug 484642 indicates that this is happening on trunk and branch.

For my case in bug 484642 Firebug gets focus instead of the page on the third press of F6.

Firebug issue on this http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=523 John Barton marked the Firebug issue invalid.

Marcel: do you have Firebug installed? Looks like this is a known problem with older versions of that add-on, though fixed in the latest version.

I have this problem with firebug 1.4.0a13 which is the latest version.

Still Confirmed Broken
If I hit F6 twice I just hit tab now and it cycles back -shrug-

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.7) Gecko/2009021910 Firefox/3.0.7

oh, I'm sorry, should tested it with a new profile before filing a bug ;/

So is anyone seeing this bug without Firebug installed?

Confirmed in 3.0.10 without Firebug.

I see this bug with a new profile with no extensions in:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.12pre) Gecko/2009052004 GranParadiso/3.0.12pre,

but not in:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; eo; rv:1.9.1b5pre) Gecko/20090520 Shiretoko/3.5b5pre
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090520 Minefield/3.6a1pre

Appears fixed Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090624 Firefox/3.5

Works ok for me in Firefox/3.5.2 on Win7
