Thats what happens to all links. There used to be a link scrubber I
think, but its something you get used to.

I'm not sure but if the link is an image, try entering a zero "0" in the border field under properties.

I found this problem too, apparently it is a firefox thing. add this property to the CSS attributes for your link

-moz-outine

and set it to 'none'

this should fix it...it is a small thing, but i found it annoying.

Try to navigate your site without a mouse and you will realise that this
outline is an important accessibility feature in most browsers.

It's more than mere aesthetics.

It's called a "focus rectangle" and it's an accessibility feature of modern
browsers to show those who are navigating your site with a keyboard where
the focus is on the page e.g. if the dots appear on the Submit button the
user knows that pressing Enter will submit the form.
