Hi Just got my new macbook pro 16 2021 on m1pro chip. There is an issue with cursor on my new macbook: it randomly freezes for few seconds 1-5. During video watching, picture also freezes but sound is fine and continue playback at background during these freezes. Freezes happen not only during video watching, but also with normal web browsing. There is only few tabs open and I'm using default Firefox 94.0.1 as default browser with Ublock and SponsorBlock extensions on Monterey 12.0.1 system. After some observations, I can say, that freezes also happens, even if Firefox is open in background and Safari is in use. With Safari no such problem.

So if anyone know how to solve this problem, please help.

Problem was not in Firefox, it's just Mac randomly freezes also in other apps.
