Gekose oplossing

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).


Does it work if you open a new window?

I found an easier solution for now - minimizing the browser reestablishes the cursor and unfreezes the address field for some reason. It should be noted that if I open a new tab, and I see 'enter web address here', I KNOW it has frozen...

I shoul dadd not minimizing the window, but clicking 'Restore down' is what works
