I've been using Firefox for years, and it's always worked flawlessly... But now, I'm getting a little 'i-beam' error after updated to the latest version of Firefox.

For those of you who may not recognise the i-beam term, it's the little capital letter I that you see when you're typing in text boxes.

Anyway, it's the one that appears next to the text the whole time you're typing and it just kinda blinks away.

It's appearing in the Firefox browser when I click anywhere aside from the address bar and links. Is there any way I can fix this?
