don't have a keyboard with f13 or above :). Is this while viewing the Firefox window? If so, what content is being displayed, and if you open FF in safe mode, does it happen?

Yeah, I can reproduce that with all versions of Gecko: 1.9.0. 1.9.1 & 1.9.3nightly - including Camino 2.0b. Pressing F18 & F19 triggers FAYT by printing some unknown character (If you have FAYT autostart turned on). Sending this to core cocoa:widgets for further triage.

The mouse also hides if I press the keys F15 and F16. Like phillipe: By clicking F18 and F19 I get some FAYT characters
Here's the status: While I click any key on my keyboard my cursor hides, not only on the FXX keys, also on the characters (a,b,c,..), numbers (1,2,3,..) and so on.

Please don't move bugs from component to component unless you are part of the various Mozilla triage teams. (In reply to comment #4) > Here's the status: While I click any key on my keyboard my cursor hides That part, at least, is *supposed* to happen. Mac apps hide the cursor when the keyboard is active. I can't find any difference between Safari and a Gecko browser, for that matter -- Safari does the same thing reported here as a "bug".

The only way I can reproduce this with Firefox 150 on macOS 26.5 is when a text area has focus for entering text. Then F13-F19 hide the cursor. Otherwise they don't. Safari behaves differently in this situation but I'm not sure if we care.
