This is a platform specific feature so we need to know what platform you're experiencing the issue on. Do you mean nightly 58?

Yes, that was a typo. I'm using the latest Nightly 58 64-bit on Windows 10 Pro 1709 (Fall Creators Update).

This bug was reported on Windows 10, but I can reproduce this "mouse pointer won't disappear" problem on YouTube and Netflix on macOS when my mouse pointer is moved all the way to the right edge of the screen. However, when the mouse pointer is hovering over the middle of the video, it disappears after a couple seconds as expected.

Just FYI: I can't reproduce this anymore. (Windows 10 / Nightly 88)

I can't reproduce the original bug either in Firefox 87, 88, or 89 (on macOS 11.2.3): when I open a video in fullscreen and the mouse pointer is hovering over the middle of the video, the mouse pointer disappears after a couple seconds as expected.

However, when I move the mouse pointer all the way to the right or left edge of the fullscreen video (on any site including YouTube and Netflix), the portion of the mouse pointer that is still visible on screen never disappears. If I press a key on the keyboard (like the space bar to pause/resume video playback), the mouse pointer then disappears.

I can reproduce that on Windows 10. But it only happens if I move the pointer to the left edge and and not the right edge.
