Re: Firefox and flex box tab order

Eric, 
It does seem like some ability to change to navigation and DOM order would be useful but I haven't thought through any pitfalls.  Tab index is not a good substitute.   

The ability to affect the tab order within containers might be useful.  iOS has this feature
