Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. goto facebook.com 2. login 3. try to add a comment to a status message (do not create a new status message; add a comment to an existing status message) Actual Results: No cursor/caret Expected Results: There should be a cursor/caret of course (only occurs for Firefox, but works fine with IE, Chrome) I think it is a major feature having a caret at the correct position. Otherwise it is annoying when typing/editing lot of text. Workaround: open another tab and go back to the previous one - the cursor may appear The above Facebook example is just an example. It occurs on a lot of sites (e.g. MSDN Forums)

This issue is well known. Just google "Cursor disappears in Firefox" e.g. http://blog.tremend.ro/2007/01/22/mouse-cursor-disappears-in-firefox/

Yes, same behaviour in safe mode! Are you able to reproduce this behavour? (e.g. Facebook)
Can you reproduce with Firefox 4.0.1 ? (or Firefox 5 beta ?) http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/channel/

This is reproducible with following, too: 1. Login to google plus and open https://plus.google.com/ 2. Click text input below header "Stream" (to start inputting a new "Stream post/message/blog/whatever") Expected result: the caret is visible Actual result: the caret is invisible (sometimes it blinks once and never appears again) Workaround: when the focus is in the textarea, open a new tab and close it immediately. Additional notes: this seems to be some kind of race condition because I'm not seeing it every time. It seems that if I wait for the Google+ to fully load before interacting with the page, it raises the changes for seeing the bug. After using the workaround to enable the caret again I can reproduce the bug by entering https://plus.google.com/ again into the address bar and then trying to focus the stream post field (again, after waiting for the page to fully load).

Note that I cannot reproduce with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:8.0a1) Gecko/20110804 Firefox/8.0a1 anymore so I think this is fixed between 3.6.18 and 8.0a1.

I think this might be a duplicate of bug 226301 (or the other way around - this one is much newer but contains better steps to reprocude).
