Mouse cursor hides while typing regardless of settings in about:config
When I start typing my cursor disappears. It does not reappear until I've clicked a few times or wiggled my mouse a lot. This is quite an inconvenience, and I've tried to find a solution for far too long now. This also does not seem to affect any other application other than Firefox.
I have set both widget.windows.hide_cursor_when_typing=false and hideCursorWhileTyping=false I have also verified that there are no OS-level options set for this behavior, although I feel the above settings should override OS settings.
System details: Firefox 121.0 64-bit Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu (non-snap) Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS Gnome 42.9 Experienced on both X11 & Wayland
Please let me know if any additional information is needed
Chosen solution
Linux requires widget.gtk.hide-pointer-while-typing.enabled set to false in about:config.

Solution provided by zeroknight solved the issue after restarting Firefox (about:profiles > top left > restart normally)
Thanks a bunch!
