Why does my cursor keep disappearing on Firefox (and nothing else) when it's not being moved?

If I'm not moving the cursor it disappears entirely, which is highly annoying. It only does this on Firefox, nothing else. It went through a permanently flickering period before this, too.

I was having the same problem. I cleared everything in my history (all boxes checked) and this worked perfectly. Mouse works normally once again. Try it. Hopefully it works.

Thanks for the advice, AmazingBeast - I think that probably would have worked. I isolated the problem eventually to a particular web page I'd been using a lot and had kept open. Once I closed it everything was fine again, although it means whenever I want to look at that page I have to put up with the Disappearing Cursor!

IF the problem is happening on all other Text Editing softwares as well, do this:

-> Open Control Panel

  • Mouse properties
  • Pointer Options section
  • Remove Checkmark from Hide Pointer while Typing
  • click OK

Check and tell if its working.
