Bug: Mouse pointer invisible on Firefox until page is clicked again (mobile/iPad/touch-size laptop)

[aldoprogrammer]

Lexical latest version on playground https://playground.lexical.dev/:

Steps To Reproduce

After first click and typing:

• Click anywhere on the page to start typing.
• Type some text.
• Move the mouse pointer — it disappears again.
• The pointer only reappears after clicking somewhere on the page a second time.

The current behavior

• On Firefox, the mouse pointer is invisible until the user clicks on the page.
• After typing, the pointer disappears again and only returns after another click.
• Users cannot reliably see the pointer to interact with toolbar buttons, formatting options, or links in Playground.
• Other browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari) are not affected.
• Laptop viewport 1280x800 does not show this issue.

Demo bug

The expected behavior

• The mouse pointer should always be visible, even before any click and after typing.
• Users should be able to accurately interact with toolbar buttons, formatting options, and clickable links at all times.
  Demo expected working like in chrome and edge

Impact of fix

• Users may accidentally click wrong toolbar buttons or links because the pointer is invisible.
• Breaks UX flow in Playground or editor with interactive toolbars.
• Fixing this ensures consistent pointer visibility and accurate user interaction across Firefox on mobile, iPad, and touch-size laptop viewports.

Environment

• Lexical version: 0.39.0
• Browser: Firefox 146.0.1
• OS: Windows
• Node version: 20.19.5

Notes

• Bug is Firefox-specific.
• Other browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari) are unaffected.
• Critical for accurate user interaction with editor toolbar and links.
• Issue occurs both initially before any click, and again after typing until another click.

This sounds like a bug in firefox itself. If you can find a workaround we could add it but either way it would make sense to report this to firefox.

On my mac, firefox doesn't have this behavior. The cursor is not visible when typing, which is expected, but if you move the cursor it appears. Has the same behavior whether the page has been clicked or not.
