Whenever I heightlight non selectable text my mouse arrow stays an arrow instead of turning into the I-Bar. However the mouse does in fact turn into the I-Bar when it's over a text field such as the one I'm typing in now.

Is it possible that I somehow turned this feature off? I was copying/pasting some text right before it happened, and my hands might have got off on my keyboard.

Hi,

Please check if this happens in Safe Mode. Safe mode disables the installed Extensions, and themes (Appearance) in Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Use hardware acceleration when available. All these settings/options/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme, option or hardware acceleration is causing issues. Disabling/enabling hardware acceleration, and some types of add-ons in normal mode may require a Firefox restart.

If the problem persists please also check if this happens in a new profile. If the new profile is okay, you can then Reset Firefox on the old (previous) profile via Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information.
