When I have multiple Firefox windows opened, every once in a while focus switches from current window to all others in a rapid manner, one by one, like if somebody is clicking on each of them

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/110.0

Steps to reproduce:

I just open few Firefox windows, doing whatever and after some time it happens. And it happens on all computers I owe. But only in Firefox.

Actual results:

Focus is rapidly switching to all other windows, one by one, like if somebody is clicking on each of them, so it's impossible to stay on the window in which you're currently onto.

Expected results:

I should be able to stay in the window on which I am currently on.

How strange! This almost certainly has to be some third-party software's doing.

Is there any uncommon accessibility software, or perhaps some unusual input device driver, installed on all your devices? (There's a long history of input-device software authors adding surprising navigation features to their device drivers; it's not impossible that this is an intentional but ill-documented feature you're hitting without realizing it.)
