Drew, I think there's some lingering confusion here. Try pressing the left
mouse button down on a link in Firefox, and keeping it pressed down. Notice
how Firefox displays a dotted box around the link. This is indeed a eww
enhancement request, but I don't think it's specific to external browsers; it's
just about indicating that a link has been clicked in the time interval from
the click to the point when the next page replaces the current one.
