User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:107.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/107.0
Firefox for Android

Steps to reproduce:

A text field blinking cursor that should normally appear only on elements that take input from the user is being rendered on any element that I click on a webpage.
If I click on a progress bar of a YT video at the end of the seek bar there is a vertical blinking line.
I am not seeing this behavior is other devices that I use only my personal computer after updating to the latest version.

Actual results:

The blinking cursor is appearing on all the HTML web elements that I click upon. I have attached some screen shots from youtube but it is happening on all the websites.

Expected results:

The horizontal blinking cursor should appear only on text boxes

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Win32' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Redirecting to DOM Core, since none of those elements are Win32 widgets. Although:

Firefox for Android

Your "User Agent" in the bug above says "Windows", but then it's followed by the above line. Is this bug report actually intended for Firefox for Android specifically?
