Answer 1

There are two ways for a user to fix this.

1. The main fix for this is to adjust the Accessibility options. Apple Menu > System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts Tab > Full keyboard access: In windows and dialogs, press Tab to move the keyboard focus between: Choose the "All controls" radio button. This allows Safari, as well as other applications, to gain tab focus on buttons and other UI elements.

2. Additionally, you can adjust this in Safari's advanced preferences as noted in j08691's answer.

Answer 2

If you go under the advanced preferences in Safari and check "Press Tab to highlight each item on a webpage" it works.
