When anyone types in message boxes, address bars, etc. a blinking "|" appears, indicating you can type there. This blinking "|" appears wherever I click on a page now. If I just click on text or on an image, the | appears on it (or next to it in case of images). This only occurs in Firefox, and seems to only occur on things that can be highlighted. How do I disable this?
