User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20130814063812 Steps to reproduce: Create a timer interval to log nsIIdleService.idleTime every second or so. Hold the mouse statically over a browser window (active or inactive), then try the same while holding the mouse statically outside of a browser window. Actual results: While hovering the mouse over the browser, the timer never counts much past 100ms before it resets to 0. Therefore, registered observers are also never notified of an idle state. Expected results: The timer should count up indefinitely while the user does not move the mouse, regardless of the mouse position on screen.
