You can create a new Number pref on the the about:config page and set its value to '0' (zero).

  • about:config => ui.hideCursorWhileTyping => 0

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. On the warning page, click "Accept the Risk and Continue" to open about:config.

By "cursor", do you mean the blinking caret that looks like a vertical line in text boxes, indicating where typed characters go or the mouse cursor?

Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?
