Icon when clicking and dragging things

Hi. I'm asking this question because I'm not quite sure how to describe this issue through a Google search. Recently, I've noticed that whenever I click and drag anything, an icon will pop up while I'm doing so. Attached is an example, I click-and-dragged on the "Learn More" hyperlink off to the right.

Is there any way to disable the icon that pops up? It bothers me and seems to slow things down, which isn't ideal. I'm not the most well-versed when it comes to Firefox's more advanced settings (the options in about:config and whatnot) so I wouldn't know where to start.

I'm not quite sure what caused it, but it's gone now.

I went to check if it might have been an addon causing it, so I made a blank profile without any extensions, and that profile didn't have that issue. I went back to my own profile and restarted my browser through about:profiles, and then disabled everything to try and see if one of my extensions was causing it by process of elimination... but after I turned everything off it returned to normal, even after I re-enabled everything else.

I would assume this was an issue on my end, but it seemed to only occur in Firefox, as the behavior wasn't replicated when I tried this using Chrome. I wish I had a more solid answer to this, but now I can't replicate whatever was happening anymore.

Very strange indeed.
