When I'm in my Firefox browser and open, my cursor arrow has a blue circle next to it that keeps on flickering. When I close Firefox the flickering blue circle stops. Very annoying. Can you help please? Thanks.

Hello there,

Try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
