Ok, so if you're using firefox you notice that many websites (this site included) have an ugly frame that appears when a you click a link. For example, click the "FAQ" link to your left and, if you're using firefox, you'll notice a white-dotted frame.

The solution for that is simple. Open the main css for this board/website and on the first paragraph add this:

Code:
outline:none;


This will have no effect on explorer users and will remove the annoying outline for firefox users, thus making the surfing experience on your website identical on all browsers.

Or instead of writing separate code for a non-conforming browser you change the settings in the browser. Try browser.display.focus_ring_width, 0 is off.

Rinze's solution only works for text links, to completely disable focus ring in Firefox on other items (flash for example) set browser.display.focus_ring_on_anything to true

I'm new to firefox so that's why I noticed it Jenni, and I wasn't aware you could change it through firefox. Now, how exactly do I change it on ff? That code you wrote means nothing to me...

Thanks. It worked for me with Rinze's code. Glottis' didn't work for me.
