685042 - Mouse pointer blinks/disappears, if bethblog.com is opened in any tab

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:9.0a1) Gecko/20110906 Firefox/9.0a1
Build ID: 20110906030844

Steps to reproduce:

1. Visit http://www.bethblog.com/
2. Enter any old enough date (of birth?)
3. Watch the cursor


Actual results:

Cursor disappears until you move it or press any buttons on keyboard. And after these actions it disappears again and again.
Happens on even other tabs and chrome of the browser, all you need is just to have that page opened in any tab.


Expected results:

Cursor shouldn't be affected at all. It shouldn't disappear. Even if that site has such CSS rules to hide the cursor [e.g. cursor:url("path/to/a/1x1_px/transparent/image"); ], it shouldn't affect the cursor if you hover chrome parts of the browser or other pages' content-area.

Similar to Bug 104970.
But this is due to Flash Player plugin.

The bug seems to be gone: not happening anymore on the latest Nightly.

This has just started happening (past 3 - 5 days) to me on ALL sites....all versions of Firefox.
