Spot on, that's worked a treat. My understanding of the outline rule was
that it would place an outline around an element without affecting the box
model (as opposed to a border which will contribute to the width the
element).

Interesting none the less, thanks for that.

Hi, Samuel,

Beginner here trying to troubleshoot quite an advanced (and very nice) 
website.

Try adding:

     a { outline: none;}

This disables the outline box surrounding links, that appears in 
Firefox, which is very useful, accessibility wise. Remove at your own 
risk. You can duplicate this by using the keyboard to navigate through 
the links - the box essentially shows up on :focus.

I hope this helps,
Regards,
  - Rahul.
