FF no more highlights links on which I clicked most recently

Post by dunican »

Hi,

I have a website with a lot of links that I open in new tabs one by one. Firefox used to put the one I clicked most recently in a dashed box, so whenever I closed one tab I could immediately see where to continue. Now, as of FF 53, this very useful feature no longer works. How can I get it back?

Thanks in advance for any help.

URL?
Could be that the website changed, affecting that dashed box.

Might also have a look at the Pref, browser.display.focus_ring_width.
It defaults to 1, but you can change it, say to 3. Might help?
Fire 750, bring back 250.

Thanks, therube! I solved it by changing browser.display.focus_ring_on_anything to true, is it possible an automatic update changed the value of this thing? (Though I am not sure it is really the same thing as it used to be. Now, for instance, the text box I am typing in this message is also "dashed".)
