How to make dotted outline bigger and more noticeable?

I use Firefox to fill a lot of forms. It is easier to do without using the mouse and switching between elements with Tab and Shift+Tab.

Firefox shows the cursor flickering bar in every input field which is a text field and bounds other elements with a tiny dotted line.

What I want is to make this dotted line more prominent to make it stand out of the page, to make it easier to spot.

On Google I found many discussions on how to remove this outline with CSS vendor-specific properties, but not much about customizing it from a user's point.

Perhaps, I could add a user CSS or a user JS (with greasemonkey), but I am not sure what to write there. Can I somehow set this property for every element?

hi, you can do the following: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named browser.display.focus_ring_width. double-click it and change its value to 4.

You can use a form filling add-on to save some time.

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.

Sorry, but it doesn't solve the issue.

I really need to be able to see the "currently selected element". Just because I use keyboard a lot.
