My cursor is a notepad symbol, instead of the usual arrow. Any ideas?

The cursor has a notepad floating with it wherever I move it. The cursor usually is an arrow, or a hand when over a link. The notepad is annoying. Any ideas?

  • Is this all the time with all programs?

Then it is your computers mouse / pointer settings.

  • Is this happen only in the Firefox window?

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware. Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs. Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't know what they are.
