Check your settings - mine doesn't behave as you describe.  

Reiterating what I said: I have to actively double-click a tab to bring
it to focus.  This is indicated by a rectangle "highlight" within that
tab. Only, _then_ do the arrows become active to move between tabs.
BUT, that focus stays with all tabs _until_ I click anywhere on a page
to remove the focus from the tabs.

At _ALL_ other times a single click brings up the tab and arrows scroll
that page, repeat as needed.  Not at all like you describe, no need to
click twice for each tab to scroll the page, but exactly like every
other browser I've ever used.  

What is your version of galeon?  Have you checked your settings?
