The use of Flash is growing rapidly from esoteria to standard UI, which makes this bug worse and worse every day.

To use Ctrl-T, Ctrl-Tab, etc, the user has to find some place outside the plugin to click in order to remove focus from the plugin. But this is not always so easy. Previously one could at least click the tab above the webpage, to give focus to the tab instead - but in a recent FF version update the focus behaviour of tabs seems to have vanished (good in itself, but...) and the possibility doesn't exist anymore. On pages where the Flash plugin takes up the whole page (or where the user doesn't find an obvious spot that is outside the plugin), the only easy way seems to be clicking on another page's tab. Not user-friendly.

I hope you can come with a remedy very soon.
