don't know if this belongs in this forum or the general software, so apologies if it needs to be moved.

I'm wondering if there is a browser, or an extension to FF that allows the hyperlink area for a link to be larger than just the size of the text/graphic/whatever....basically when I'm using my laptop, it would be nice to have to not have the cursor 100% on the link and still be able to click...like basically if there is some sort of "smudge factor" that extends the boundaries of the hyperlink beyond the text/image....don't know exactly how this would work, nor have I ever heard of anything similar in the past, I've just been curious and so have posted this, and another question today due to extra curiousity

guess not

You can do all sorts of neat stuff by messing around with your userContent.css file. You could, for example, turn all links into block elements which will increase the clickable area. This might have some impact on the page layout though.

You can see an example of what is like by going here:

You'll notice you can have the cursor to the left or right of the Amazon and SPCA logos there and still be able to click on them.

I haven't really messed around with userContent.css so I can't tell you exactly what you need to put there. I will take a look if I get a chance to see if I can figure out what to do.

I missed the post the first time around, good thing you bumped it.

See Increasing link target size and
increasing link size on hover

Add the following to your userContent.css file:

(I removed the z-index fix for Opera and added the colors to hover to show the effect.)

Remove the colors if you feel so inclined.

You can use Chromedit or
find/create and edit the file manually.

edits: code modified slightly.

nifty..i'll have to check that when I get a chance
