Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/110.0

Steps to reproduce:

Since I updated to 110 (Ubuntu 22.04, i use the preinstalled snap), the cursor, after a while of browsing, stops being interactive. I still haven´t understood why this happens or what could affect it.

Actual results:

The cursor and the text does not change in real-time.
If, for example, I'll try to open a different tab right now that I am writing at this box, the cursor does not change shape, from text editing to the normal cursor. In order for that to happen, I have to left-click outside of the box.
Another example is, when I pass the cursor over a link, it does not change neither the color of the text to make it brighter neither the cursor turns to a ' hand' .
Moreover, when I try to select text, text is not highlighted in real time. It is seen highlighted when I have already selected the text and I leave the left-click button.

Expected results:

If I close and open again Firefox, the cursor reaction returns to normal. For example it shows me in real time the text I choose, it changes depending on the content (if there is a link it will become a 'hand' and the link will ' light' etc.

Hi @yannnisd could please try and reproduce this issue in our latest Nightly build, you can find it here: https://nightly.mozilla.org/ and if it still occurs there maybe you can grab a performance profile from when the issue starts to occur using these steps:
