Anyone upgrade to firefox 38 and notice right away they added a blue border to nearly every textbox and button?

Nope, nothing here.

Edit: Actually, yes, but only on a button after it's been pressed, and it's only certain ones (spoiler tags on this forum for example). No idea if it was there before.

Nothing here either

Are you sure you don't have it but just didn't notice the change?

You see the blue border that comes up when you click in to the url bar. It also shows up on some buttons and some text boxes although OCUK textboxes it doesn't.

Its everywhere and its very very ugly.

Who adds these changes needs a new job.

Hmm, well I am using one of those skins that cover the top part of the browser. But elsewhere I don't see any borders

I think its only new textboxes with newish code. google.com has the "problem" so does the firefox forums at mozzilazine.

Its on the google search box as well and all the buttons on google website, once clicked have this ugly blue border. It is basically an active cursor border setting that needs disabling.

Ok, just reverted my FF back to the stock skin. Nothing there. Checked on Google too and nothing there either :confused:

Actually ignore that it's actually there but only on the google text box. Not the buttons and not the address bar

I see what they have done is replace the highlight colour on the default theme, its also found when using any context menu or menu bar. I am going back to firefox 37 until i can resolve it.

Its right there mate, the blue border around the search box.

Yes noticed it after I posted

Edited my post above. You can always change skins and see if it resolves it?

It won't ill have to user a userstyle to modify that in the default theme.

ADT · 27 May 2015 at 12:32

Fair enough mate, I hope you can find a way to sort it out.
I have found 38 to be more stable when compared to 37 so it might be best to stay on it if you can

You know i think its not a firefox problem actually. Just down graded to firefox 37 and the problem is still there, might be a windows 10 change that has done it.

only time I see the blue border is on websites where it's used to highlight links after using tab usually (it's an accessability feature)

Nothing on my toolbar though but then I have changed it to the 'web developer' skin

It is definitely a windows 10 change not firefox it was just a coincidence that i updated to firefox 38 and then noticed the win 10 blue border change.
