After installing Firefox 5 the mouse cursor blinks every 2 seconds system wide while Firefox is running. Minimizing doesn't stop it. Only closing Firefox stops it.

The only times it doesn't blink is when it's over an "active" area, like the text box I'm typing in now, or when hovering over a hyperlink.

One additional piece of info. It appears to happen only when I have my google home page open. Doesn't have to be the current tab, just has to be one of the tabs. Navigating on that tab to another page (following a link, for example), stops the blinking.
