Using desktop 141.0, noticed issue of the hand pointer either not appearing, or appearing for less than a second and disappearing when hovering over buttons/urls/etc elements. Sometimes it stops being buggy for a minute or so and then goes back. I can't figure out the exact cause for this, but maybe going outside of the window of the browser ? Consistent in the safe mode, on different websites. See the gif for the visual

It's the same symptom as the gif file video. It usually happens when I open a new tab while watching a YouTube video. However, if I open multiple tabs for more than 5 minutes and work on it, the symptoms disappear. I didn't do any special mouse pointer settings and it's Windows default. - Win10 ltsc 1809

Interesting... Are you running any security software besides MS Defender? Windows home or pro? If Windows Pro version, try testing in Windows Sandbox (VM) to see if you have the same issue. https://www.howtogeek.com/399290/how-to-use-windows-10s-new-sandbox-to-safely-test-apps/

Does it happen with other version of Firefox (Beta, Dev, or Nightly)? Also see what happens with a fork like Waterfox.

Beta/Nightly are fine. Likewise with waterfox. Reinstalling firefox to 142 keeps the issue. Standalone/custom install of 140 doesn't seem to have any issues, standalone/custom 141 caught it soon after start of test
