Disable Blinking Elements

One of the things that annoys me the most on web pages other than scrolling marquee text is blinking text.

Yes. This text is... blinking

Fortunately, it is a simple change to the Firefox browser configuration to stop the silliness.

Entering the New Settings

Start Firefox.

Click on the address bar or press Ctrl-l to place the cursor on the address bar.

Enter about:config and press enter.

The configuration settings page displays.

Find the entry for browser.blink_allowed and change to false.

Fixed!

Make the Text Blink!

Two ways really -- Use the non-standard <blink> tag -- for example <link>Blink!<blink> or Use the css style --for example, <span style="text-decoration: blink;">blinking</span>

Now that you know how to make your text blink, please DON'T do it.

Thanks.
