I finished posting on games forums, and went to a different page and as I stated in the Question section, my mouse pointer stated Flickering when I move it around and when I stop, it disappears. I restarted my PC thinking that would clear it up, as my daughter was playing a game on the PC for many hours today, and I even checked to see if the browser is up to date and it is, as per Help -> About Fire Fox. This have never happened before & I have been using Fire Fox for a long time, or if it is a plugin? Or if is a Java Issue.

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

Hello cor-el,

Thank you for the reply, and I did try searching first, when I did not find a solution, I post my question. I did read through the solutions and what to do, and I am using the default theme, so there was no need to disable that option. I did not even get to go through all the options to see what was causing the issue. As soon as I received a message in my e-mail that you replied, I came straight here and when I did, the issue of the Flickering mouse pointer seemed to correct it's self. It just stopped and has not happened again, since and that is why I waited to reply to you, to make sure that it had stopped.

I thank you again & greatly appreciate your assistance.
