In Firefox, every time I click on a graphic, it puts this dotted line around the image until I click on something else (such as the background). Very disruptive to the interface design. Anyway know how to override or stop that effect?

Thanks.

outline:none

Although, that's not recommended - it is an accessibility feature - try moving around your website using a keyboard alone (e.g. tab, tab, tab, tab, enter, etc.) and without that dotted line!

Agreed with vincevincevince, just because you can really doesn't mean you should. Unless you add some other :focus effect your site will become unusable to keyboard users.

That isn't an issue purely for the "disabled", a lot of people prefer tabbing to using the mouse. I know I mix and match the two quite a lot.
