I have noticed that the cursor disappears in the text boxes of quite a few sites in Firefox 10 (iGoogle, Google Calendar etc), when I return to my home page the cursor does not appear. This also affects SeaMonkey 2.7. It may be due to a flash/java problem as many other people have reported something similar. I have reverted back to SeaMonkey 2.6.1 & returned my Firefox portables back to 9.0.1. The problem does not occur on the earlier versions. I am fairly certain that it is not an extension conflict as many others are having this problem.

Will there be a patch/upgrade for this soon?

I have not only tried all of those I have made a completely fresh install. Nothing fixes the problem apart from minimising then immediately maximising the browser screen. Some people have found a fix as proposed by 'dzillag' on mozillaZine

That is a tad complicated for me, although I may have a go at it later if I have time.

I'm pretty sure Mozilla will need to issue a patch/upgrade for this bug.
