Why the cursor is active while playing videos from streaming services.(Netflix, Prime, Hotstar). Its very irritating while watching movies. Device: Macbook pro 2017 model MacOs: v12

Chosen solution

You may have switched on caret browsing. You can toggle caret browsing off/on by pressing F7 (Mac: fn + F7).

  • Settings -> General: Browsing
    remove checkmark: [ ] "Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages"

Note that this is a Firefox accessibility feature.

Have you tried moving the cursor to an area not in the video area?
