I did some additional testing on this. Without going into the 
observational details, the tests seem to indicate that upon exiting the 
trigger field, both browsers automatically spawn a default focus on the 
next field in tab order. However, whereas IE cancels that default focus 
in favor of the new field, FF doesn't and gets confused as a result. (In 
FF, a subsequent tab away from this "no-man's-land focus" always 
returned to the location bar, regardless of what field it should have 
moved to.)
	Perhaps if you could tell us why and under what conditions you want to 
skip the second field (or focus on the third), we could be of more help 
with a workaround.
