I accidentally edited something with inspect element, and now this cursor keeps binking on every page I go. How do I undo what I did and get rid of this thing?

You may have switched on caret browsing. You can toggle caret browsing off/on by pressing F7 (Mac: fn+F7).

  • Settings -> General -> Browsing
    remove checkmark: [ ] "Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages"

Note that this is a Firefox accessibility feature.

Have you restarted Firefox since? As for as I know such changes are temporary.
