Testing Accessibility Keyboard Only Navigation on Firefox - We are building accessible sites but have problems navigating using 'keyboard only' commands on a Mac. The commands work fine on Safari but leave you stuck on links or buttons when using Firefox? Have always found Firefox and viewing websites generally to work very well on a Mac with few exceptions (often better than Safari), but Accessibilty seems to be a problem? Not sure if this is a caching issue or a Firefox issue?

After entering the Web Content (control+option+shift+down arrow), we are unable to tab past (control+option+right arrow) the 'Skip To Main Content' link, or select the link (control+option+space bar), when in Voiceover on the Mac (Mojave) using Firefox (81.0 64-bit). This works fine in Safari?

Any helpful comments would be great.
