For more information about this very cool new proposal for a change in the Firefox UI, go to this url: http://diveintomark.org/archives/2006/04/25/new-focus-indicator
Changed the outline color to reflect the new rgba CSS3 color standard supported by Firefox 3 (still in alpha).

@mastavic http://userstyles.org/styles/305#review-3061

See line 14
-moz-outline: 2px solid -moz-rgba(16,186,224,0.5) !important;

rgb (red,green,blue) - red (16) green (186) blue (224)

You can also replace
-moz-outline: 2px solid -moz-rgba(16,186,224,0.5) !important;

With
-moz-outline: 2px solid #2469FF !important; [just like dalton did @ http://userstyles.org/styles/305#review-1044]

Or
-moz-outline: 2px solid #FC9C00 !important; [just like Jhon did @ http://userstyles.org/styles/305#review-1066]

Or
-moz-outline: 2px solid LightPink !important; [pink power, lol].

And read the comments, next time. all your answers are already there. :) *****

not implemented in ffx 3 yet :(

its a great idea! *****

Dman said on Apr 14 2008

I like it. A lot easier to use Firefox with it. I really do like the default color. ****

s@ndman said on Jan 16 2008

Works great, I love it. One problem when using with Stylish though is that it breaks Google docs spreadsheets. I was able to use the GreaseMonkey script and exclude those pages and it works great again. ****

Uncle_rIc07 said on Nov 29 2007

Great script. One quick question. Is there any way to have the bright focus cover on the textboxes (and not the links or buttons)?

Thanks. ****

Dawudd said on Sep 02 2007

Absolutely beautiful. I would love to see something similar for chrome elements, though in a different colour (to prevent a dangerous confusion between chrome and content). *****

Bringing a bit of elegance back to poor old Windows. Just need this for all of my applications. *****

mastavic said on Jun 14 2007

I really like the idea, but I do not like that particular color. Would it be possible to change it somehow? Thank you. ****

thanks!

now if there were only a way to prevent the firefox window from stealing focus from other applications... ;) *****

I tried to survive on the family computer without this.

It's become *that* necessary for me.
I've tried a few colors, and usually end up with the default blue, though orange also works. Sadly, greys won't work so well, with so many darker themed websites. ;( *****

Nice. Just what I need. *****

Lunis said on Nov 23 2006

Very nice :3 ****

Amazingly useful! Try it out! *****

J.P. said on Oct 27 2006

Excellent style. Besides making Firefox Portable on the school PCs look more like a Mac, it makes it *way* easier to see the focus.

IceDogg said on Oct 19 2006

Like someone else said, what do I need this for. But I like checking out styles, and now I HAVE to have this one. Very well done! *****

Jhon said on Oct 16 2006

Excellent, a good idea. Always use this style to navigate.
Also for the focus use, another better color as a brilliant orange:
*:focus { -moz-outline: 2px solid #FC9C00 !important; }
****

dalton said on Oct 13 2006

Excellent idea. Not a fan of the default color, though. I went with #2469FF *****

DarkSide said on Sep 28 2006

Niiiiiiiice , the default color .... EXCELENT choice very very eye relaxin´ *****

Thumper said on Aug 17 2006

This is the best thing ever.

It gets a 4 because trunk supports RGBA, so you can use rgba(16,186,224,0.5) instead and it's even better.

AWESOME! AT FIRST I THOUGHT "WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS?" BUT NOW I AM LIKE "I AM SO GONNA KEEP THIS" *****

Uncle Spellbinder said on May 22 2006

Excellent idea DesertFox! Love this. *****

XerBlade said on May 09 2006

Wow, pretty cool. It seems a bit excessive to do it on radio buttons as well, though, but hey, whatever. *****

Beautiful! This should be the default! *goes and votes for bug 251198* *****

bookworm said on May 06 2006

Works beautifully. *****

dom said on Apr 30 2006

Can you improve it by making it highlight the address bar and search bar too? *****

Lazy said on Apr 28 2006

Looks great. 5/5! *****

Paulfox said on Apr 27 2006

So simple and SO necessary - just super. Had no idea it would improve so many sites (worth it just for Google!) - and a sensible, non eye-strain color too. Was going to just try it out, but it's a KEEPER! Thanks Frank! *****

RaveN said on Apr 27 2006

i don't know how u got the idea but sure it's creative *****
