To get Firefox to use full tabbing capabilities, you have to modify the 'accessibility.tabfocus' preference in the config.

Enter the config (about:config in the address bar). Find 'accessibility.tabfocus' preference. By default, it's set at 1, which is what you probably see. Set it to 7 and you'll get full tabbing capability.

The following spells out what each number means for this preference.

You can use this on Firefox, Netscape, and Mozilla. Camino probably, too, though I haven't tried it there.
