Wow, amazing! No prior art on that one.  Anybody remember (or still use) lynx?  Oh, wait, lynx was using the keyboard (tab and/or arrow keys) to navigate hyperlinks 15 years ago.

Microsoft is leading the way as usual.  Just about 20 yrs. behind.

That's exactly what I was thinking.  I still use lynx sometimes.

Commander:
i dont get it... cant you press tab in firefox and go to the next link?  or does the patent refer to something else?

M51DPS:
I remember this feature.... but I found it really annoying and turned it off.

Refalm:
Mozilla has this great feature where you can jump links by pressing letters.
For example, press "H" and "<--| Enter" now and end up at our front page.

hhmmm.... in order to have a patent, you MUST have a working implementation at the time of filing.

No.  I can assure you that is no longer required.
