Hi,

I do not think this is a Firefox issue since this is the behaviour across all the other browsers as well.
This is most likely not controlled by the browser. There are a few apps out there that can automatically hide the mouse cursor on inactivity.

Since this isn't a Firefox specific issue, I'm closing it as invalid.
