I am using Firefox 8.0

Whenever I go to check my email with Google Mail the hourglass symbol next to my mouse pointer / cursor keeps flickering on and off. This only happens when I use Firefox. It does not happen with IE. I don't have this issue with any other website that I visit using Firefox. When I close the tab that has the google mail instance, the flickering stops.

I figured out what was causing it. When I disabled the Google Talk Pluggins, the cursor stopped with repeated hourglass reads / flickering. Fire Fox must note like the Google Talk Pluggins.
