I run Fedora 37 with KDE Plasma desktop on my Asus laptop. I have been doing so for a few years now on various computers I have owned. I have never had a problem.

About a month ago, I noticed that playing a youtube video in Firefox made my mouse pointer disappear. It is not limited to the page.tab, but all of Firefox, menus, tabs and window controls. When I move my mouse outside of Firefox, the pointer becomes visible. Move it back, and it disappears again.

The mouse functionality still exists inside Firefox, i.e. the on hover highlights all work as does clicking, but the pointer stays invisible.

If I switch from Wayland to X11, this does not happen.

Please put Wayland support back again or tell me how I might fix this. Thanks

You have proven that the issue is in Wayland. You should post your issue here. ---> https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland/-/issues

Not exactly. This problem does not occur when I use the Brave browser.
