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).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

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
