Not sure what is happening here, I'll file a bug on it and we'll check out the problem.

ALSO: The new build seems to have a regression that any time I click on a link it has a border (highlight) around it.

The regression was actually that this WASN'T happening which we fixed just before releasing. There is a preference that controls this behavior in the Display preference pane. Look for "Highlight Links When Clicked" setting.
