Eyes Wide Open

Tom has reminded me that Firefox fully supports the <blink> tag. Bastards.

Luckily, you can get rid of the blinking and save your sanity. Type about:config in the address bar, then Enter, and you’ll get a big list of scary-looking options. Scroll down to the preference called browser.blink_allowed, which has a value true. Right-click on that option, and select ‘Toggle’, and the value should become false. Quit Firefox, then relaunch it, and all should be well.

(Thanks to this handy page of FF resources)
