In Facebook, the cursor is absent when typing in. It's not in Chrome or IE.

When I use Facebook in Firefox v3.6.17 (tried V4, bbut FAR too slow for me!) there is a problem when posting.

You try to post a comment or message, but there is no cursor visible as you type. This makes typing difficult, to say the least. You don't know where you are.

There is when using Chrome or IE on Facebook, so it has to be something in Firefox.

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).
