You can create one or two Integer prefs, the first allows to set the caret width and the second allows to set the blink rate, -1 will disable blinking.

  • ui.caretWidth (16)
  • ui.caretBlinkTime (milliseconds; use -1 to disable blink)

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
