Also, just on the topic of Firefox, the setting that shows :focus-visible even after a mouse/pointer interaction can be accessed already even today, by going to the dark corners of about:config and setting browser.display.show_focus_rings to true. The missing piece now is a nice checkbox in about:preferences and then we have the best of both worlds: users that want/need focus indication at all times can then easily enable this feature, those who don't want/need it can turn the setting off (but still get the focus indication regardless if they navigate via keyboard, where it makes sense to always have it visible).
