I think this has been caused by Bug 413844.

In Firefox 3 Beta 2, pressing F6 moves the focus onto the location bar, and pressing again moves the focus back onto the main frame/window. However now, pressing F6 repeatedly has no effect, as shown in the following diagram:
Main window >>> Location Bar >>> Nothing

Yes, you can use Alt+D and Ctrl+L to select the location bar, however many users do use F6 to do so - it is simpler.

Basically, I think a change (fix for 413844??) caused this to happen. It was working in Fx3B2

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Press F6 - Location Bar selected
2.Press F6 again - Nothing focused on
Actual Results:
Nothing is focused on.

Expected Results:
Focus switches back to window and pressing F6 again goes back to the location bar.
