I am clicking on any object or text in the browser and the typing cursor appears, when it is actually supposed to show only in textboxes and this is getting annoying over time(check photos). So how can I fix this bug?

You may have activated caret browsing. F7 toggles it on and off. There is a setting in about:config to disable the shortcut.
