The cursor (claret, caret???) is a light vertical line that is barely visible to these tired eyes. How do I chage it to a flashing block?

Chosen solution

Firefox supports two prefs to control the the appearance of the caret.

  • ui.caretWidth (Integer)
  • ui.caretBlinkTime (Integer; milliseconds; use 0 to disable blink)

The prefs do not exist by default, so you need to create new Integer prefs via the right-click context menu.
