What is happening is you are tabbing before the site loads. So to tell if the 
site has loaded just arrow through and once you can arrow through the first 
link start tabbing.
But if you happen to go into the address bar you need to wait till the page is 
loaded before tabbing works. I tab a ton of times then hit ctrl home to get to 
the top. But that is the only way I know how to get out.
Hope this helps!
 (I don't like to use tab through a web page because moving with arrow keys and 
headings is way more informational and is faster for me+no address bar trouble).

Greetings:

One question I've had for quite some time.  The scenario is this.   When a web 
page comes up, thinking I'm at the top, sometimes I start to tab through, only 
to hear Jaws read the address bar.  Most of the time, to get to the page 
itself, I shift-tab, then ctrl-home to the top to start navigating.

However, sometimes, the shift-tab lands me in Suggested Sites, or Favorites.  
When it does this, how do I get back to my page I want to navigate?  I've 
resorted to closing out IExplorer then reopening.  Is there an easier way to 
find the way back to the original page?  Please advise.

Thanks.

Judy
