I suspect that the formatting for all form elements is actually saved in the forms.css
file. In MacOS, specifically in OS X, you can usually find this file here:
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/res/forms.css
If you take a look at that file, you may be able to identify any CSS rules that are impacting the appearance of the forms. For instance, on Windows, the input
element has a property like -moz-appearance: textfield;
, which might have an undocumented effect. It's possible that there are intrinsic -moz-*
styles on these fields causing the glowing effect, which could potentially be overridden.
One approach could be to overwrite all existing styles in the file by changing the definitions for input
to something different like
input2</code (after creating a backup copy). This way, you can experiment with altering the default CSS to see if you can eliminate the glow effect.</p>
<p>To pinpoint the specific style causing the unwanted effect, gradually reintroduce styles back into the file one by one while testing. You can streamline this process by excluding styles that are clearly irrelevant from consideration (e.g., properties like <code>line-height: normal !important;
are unlikely to be responsible for a blue glow around the form fields).
