I've edited your question as we try to keep things family friendly around here. Please keep the language polite.


Do you mean the outlines for tab navigation that appear if you select a toolbar button with the keyboard?

You can set this pref to false in about:config to disable this accessibility feature.

Can you attach a screenshot if you mean something different?

I've seen another question that has a screenshot attached, so this looks like some accessibility feature that somehow got activated.

I'm not sure if this is a Windows feature as I'm not seeing this on Linux.

After the recent firefox update windows high contrast causes this. I am assuming something changed or was added to turn on when high contrast is also on.

Thanks for reporting that. this is high contrast related. I had thought about this as a possible cause, so thanks for confirming this.
