In Chrome, hit down-arrow 3 times to get to the line that begins with text 'Invisible'

In Firefox, it takes 4 times hitting down-arrow to get to that line. The first time hitting down-arrow does nothing

Event Timeline

this is causing browser test failures

Not occurring in FF18, but is in FF24; divergent behaviour from Chrome, where this works as expected.

as of Oct 28, the first right-arrow keyed also does nothing, and the first down-arrow keyed continues to do nothing. Keying right-arrow had worked before.

Well, this now doesn't happen because Firefox doesn't get the surface selected on open.

There are no slugs after lists anymore either.
