I would like to change my cusor from vertical bar to block form, such as used on old green screens

In IE the cursor can be changed to a block form, I can't find a way to do this with Firefox, the block form is an old carry back from the days of the old "green screens"

That pref still works in Firefox, just tried it in Firefox 10.0

Type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter.
If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Right-click anywhere in the area of that window where the preferences appear.
Then select New > then Integer
Name: ui.caretWidth
Value: 7 or any other whole number, decimals aren't allowed

Then restart Firefox.

You can't change to cursor to a block that covers the current character, but you can change the cursor width to make it better visible.
