The dotted outline is helpful for keyboard navigation, but can be visually distracting when using the mouse, especially if the link does not cause a screen redraw (which means the outline will remain visible until the user clicks elsewhere). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
this is slightly different from bug 32818 (which is about a pref to completely disable the outlines, not just when using the mouse). See also bug 63962.

We already have an option. Go into userContent.css and add: :focus:hover { -moz-outline: none; }

I know. There's a lot of things you can change by editing the stylesheets. But that is hardly an "option" for normal users.
