As said it's apparently a firefox issue.

I have been noticing this for about a week now; I also use Firefox. I've seen it elsewhere while using this site, too. For instance, when I use the 'Analyze Game' feature and a new window opens, there's a 'Game History' box there with forward/reverse arrows allowing you to scroll through the moves and positions. When you click on either of the buttons, that pixel shows up just above and between those arrow buttons. Now that I'm thinking about it, my Firefox browser did recently update and I think I started noticing those pixels right after that.

I suppose we can take your word for it, that that was a screen shot immediately after clicking one of the links. 😛

I'm gonna go ahead and guess you're using Firefox 2?

Yes and this may be one reason why.

Never thought about it before, but yeah, I do see a dodgy pixel.

This "dodgy pixel" doesn't affect the usability of the site, and to be
honest, I hadn't even thought about it until Bad wolf mentioned it. A
simple CSS rule is all that's needed to remove it:


a { outline:none;}


But you're wise not to upgrade until minor version 1 or 2. I need the
latest browser version due to my work, but if you don't actually need it...
