When a website hides or locks the mouse pointer this message always displays "... has control of your pointer. Press Esc to take back control", it eventually it disappears but when I'm frequently hiding and showing the mouse the message keeps showing, how can i disable this warning message?

Try to set this pref to false on the about:config page.

  • full-screen-api.pointer-lock.enabled = false

I want the pointer to lock but i don't want the warning to show, setting this to false disables the pointer from being locked.
