My cursor is unstable blinking in the Firefox window after installing update 22.0 . The problem disappears after through Windows System Restore the update is being undone. So it is directly caused by the update. I work with Windows 7 Home premium, Service pack 1, 64 bit operating system on a Toshiba Ultrabook. No problem whatever sofar.
