Shawn,

This may not totally be what you are looking for, but I have the
following firefox mod.
*:focus { outline: 3px solid #10bae0; outline-offset: 1px !important;
outline-radius: 5px; }
button:focus::-moz-focus-inner { border-color: transparent; }
button::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="reset"]::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="button"]::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="submit"]::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="file"] > input[type="button"]::-moz-focus-inner {
border: 1px dotted transparent;
}
textarea:focus, button:focus, select:focus, input:focus {
outline-offset: -1px; }
input[type="radio"]:focus {outline-radius: 12px; outline-offset: 0px; }

This puts a border/outline around focusable items. It helps me track
focus, better than the usual dotted border.
