cursor problem on/off screen
Ok, hard to explain but here's the problem I have with Firefox only. (I got the 3.6 version)
While I'm typing my text on a webpage (ie: forums or like this posting box) my cursor goes away. Not the mouse cursor but the flashing bar where I type the text. It dont just disapear, its like I never clicked on the text box where I'm typing. Result, I keep typing text for nothing because I'm not in the posting box anymore. Other issue with this is when I play games on the net, if a game dont require the use of the mouse I end up pushing the buttons on my keyboard for nothing at some points cuz I'm not in the game box anymore without clicking elsewhere.
Is there a solution for this problem? because it's realy annoying. Firefox is my favorite browser but if I cant solve then I will have to change browser :-(
P.S.: While typing this text my cursor went away about 12 times, annoying isnt it ??

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode (Mode sans échec) to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: "Outils > Modules complémentaires > Thèmes").
See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Thanks a lot !! This work perfectly. Without any addons the problem is gone, now I will just have to find which addon was doin this by reinstaling my addons one by one.
I thank you again !!
You're welcome.
Can you post back the outcome as it helps other who read this thread?
Sure, I found it very quick on the first try actualy.
The problem was comming from the Theme I was using for my firefox. Theme was OldFactorySilver/Rust. Changed my theme and everything go well now.
So thank you again.
