1. Is there any way to turn off that little marquee highlight that happens when you click on a link?

2. Is there any way to hold a key down and click on a link to open it in another window rather than another tab?

    1) Clear your cache
    Go to Tools> Clear Recent History (make sure Cache is selected)

    2)Right Click the link> Open Link in New Tab

    or

    Go to Tools> Options> Tabs> Open New Windows in a Tab Instead
    This will make every link you select open in a new tab

    Hope that helps :)

    1. You might be able to do it with some kind of greasemonkey script, but it's something that's specified in the page's CSS file, so unless the site has it turned off, you're out of luck.

    2. Shift+LMB or Right click?

    glynnsmith, shift + lmb opens the link in a new tab not a new window. Do you happen to know the code to remove that marquee box I'd like to remove it from my website if that's the case.

    Hmmm. shift+LMB opens in new window for me, and I've left that at firefox's default. CTRL+LMB should open in new tab, as well as MMB. Not sure what's happening there, with you.

    I *think* the CSS to get rid of the anchor link marquee is:
    :focus {
    outline-color:-moz-use-text-color;
    outline-style:none;
    outline-width:0;
    }
