That blue/red lines are focussing rings, indicating that the link is
focused; Gecko (Firefox) is well within the spec here,. The outline
wraps around the overflowed area of your link, caused by the negative
text-indent (on #nav li).

I assume that asterix at the end of the line is a typing error on your
part…
Anyway, that is not such a bright idea, as it takes away any
indication to keyboard users that the link has been focussed. Unless
you also add other, carefully considered, stylistic indications that
the link has been focussed.
A better solution for that case is to declare:
#nav li a {overflow:hidden}
That will contain the focus ring within the box.
