I've attempted to replicate this bug by using a recent Debian trixie
weekly MATE amd64 LiveCD image[1] - sha256sum
071135fc3a8aafe9f1a923397ccdd1620845944f931e4187913556698f4122da -
running under qemu.

That image provides a MATE-based desktop environment running under
Xorg, and it also includes Orca 48.0 and Firefox.

Following your repro steps, I ran 'orca --debug' and was able to
observe subsequent debug output being written to a file in the
directory that that command was launched from.  Then I ran 'firefox
orca.gnome.org' from a terminal and began testing.

I did find that ctrl-L was able to activate and highlight the address
bar from a previously-unfocused state, regardless of whether the
browser viewport had been in focus or not.

I had difficulty testing alt-tab behaviour, perhaps due to qemu
keyboard input capture behaviour that I could have tried to learn more
about, but have not yet.

Please could you confirm whether this behaviour still occurs with Orca
48.0, as now available in Debian trixie?  I couldn't find anything
obviously related to a fix in the upstream changelog[2], although some
of the changes regarding event handling seem like they could
potentially be relevant.

Thanks!
James
