You will have to show more code. Be sure the code is a standalone “working page” that demonstrates the problem before you post it.
How is it unique to me when I installed a clean version of ff 49?
Meaning, I uninstalled version 48, and installed a brand new version 49.
Firefox Setup Stub 49.0
Why did you do that? (Just curious about rationale.)
Uninstalling does not remove your user settings. Those carried over to your new installation.

Still, how is the issue unique to me then?
I removed those also.
Nobody else has complained about experiencing this issue. Thus, you are unique.
The issue you complained about can be duplicated by setting browser.display.focus_ring_on_anything to true, which makes it a bold setting indicating that it’s not the default.
Setting browser.display.focus_ring_on_anything to false removes the bold from it, and viewing the test page shows the problem to be fixed.
It is now up to you to configure your browser settings in the manner that we have described, so that you may fix the problem on your computer.

Please see post #21 again
I have never configured browser settings before.
In the address bar, type about:config
Details on how to edit your configuration are found at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
Is there a way to do it manually within the code itself?
No there’s not. The setting is disabled by default, allowing the browser to enable or disable it.
If the setting is enabled, as seems to be the case on your personal browser, no code can disable it.
The only option available to you at this stage is to disable the configuration setting.
Actually, there is another option, which is to put up with it. I recommend that you adjust your config back to the default value of false.
What’s the point if everyone who doesn’t change their config settings are going to see the opposite?. I’d rather just keep it the way it is then.
The point is that everyone else has it at the default value of false.
You are unique in that you have it set to true, which is not the default. Somehow that has happened to you, and only you alone.
Everyone else does not see the dotted lined, because their Firefox 49 browser has the default setting of false.
Please tell me that you understand this.

Prove to me that everyone else has it at the default value of false.
The false setting is the default.
Maybe there’s a new bug for people who install clean versions of 49.
That possibility has already been ruled out. Clean installs do not result in the problem that you see.
You can submit a bug report though, where real experts can investigate the Firefox code more closely.
I have a feeling it’s on firefox’s end.
