Within the past few weeks, I've noticed this more and more. My cursor will disappear while using firefox on any website. I have to click around or open new tabs or close the window for it to reappear again.

This happens to me on my Mac OS X 7 machine too and from when I first noticed the problem to now, it seems to be happening more and more frequently - now maybe 15-20 times a day. It's a time waster for me and a BIG frustration!

I found a solution that works for me: Disabling the add-on: Flip4Mac Windows Media Plugin 2.3.5 Since doing so, my cursor has not disappeared anymore. Hope this helps
