you can also use outline:0 on object and embed. some basic zeroing out css would look like this:

a, a:visited { 
    text-decoration:none;
    color: #e3a512; 
    }
a:hover, a:active, a:focus { 
    text-decoration:none;
    color: #fff;
    outline:0;
    }
object, embed, a, a img, a:active, a:selected, a:visited {
    outline:0
    }
