What is the keyboard shortcut to directly focus the first Google search result, in Firefox and Chrome?

Question

Currently hitting Tab goes to top-bar / side-bar options and then the first search result. Is there any such keyboard shortcut that will directly focus on search results?

Answer 1

There is an add-on for Firefox that allows to navigate Google search results using keyboard arrows (or tab):

Another useful feature is that if you navigate through results and then resume with typing (characters) it re-focus on the search box.

Answer 2

The shortcut F7 could be handy in this case. It will enable you to browse the page using keyboard

Answer 3

Browser update fixed it. Al Everett is correct. "When I hit tab in Chrome or Firefox I get to the first search result. Subsequent hits on tab bring me to the next result."
