=== Navigating between elements with `+contenteditable="true"+` was not possible on Firefox using the keyboard.

In {productname} {release-version}, a Firefox-specific limitation prevented caret movement between editable elements when navigating with the keyboard. The caret became trapped inside a +figcaption+, blocking vertical navigation using the Arrow Down key and preventing users from moving to the next element.

This issue disrupted accessibility and editing flow for Firefox users relying on keyboard interactions. To resolve this, a new caret navigation module was introduced and integrated into the Firefox-specific arrow key handling logic. The solution works around a long-standing Firefox bug by programmatically advancing the caret out of blocked states, ensuring smoother and more consistent keyboard navigation across editable elements.
