Cannot See Cursor in WYSIWYG Editor When Using Firefox Browser

I am unable to see the cursor in the WYSIWYG editor when I try to compose a reply in this Dell forum using my default Firefox browser.  This problem started a few weeks ago around the same time I updated to Firefox v126.0.0 (rel. 14-May-2024) or Firefox v126.0.1 (rel. 28-May-2024).  Disabling all browser extensions and restarting Firefox does not solve the problem.   I have not tested other Firefox-based browsers like Pale Moon, Waterfox, etc.

This issue does not occur when I post in other (non-Dell) forums with my Firefox browser.

I am able to see the cursor if I sign in to this forum with my MS Edge browser, even when browser extensions like uBlock Origin and Malwarebytes Browser Guard are enabled in MS Edge.

Does the cursor show up once you start typing? I just want to make sure I get this documented correctly. We had a few reports of this but I wanted to make sure you're seeing similar behavior.

Does the cursor show up once you start typing?

Hi @Dell-Brad L :

When I use Firefox, the cursor appears once I start typing but as soon as I press the Enter key to start a new paragraph the cursor  disappears again. It's a bit of an adventure starting a new paragraph or inserting an image because you never know where they're going to be inserted after the cursor disappears.

After the reply is posted I often find that the line breaks (blank lines) between some of my paragraphs disappear as well.  To fix this I place the cursor at the start of the first word of each paragraph and press the Enter key, but it sometimes takes 2 or 3 edits before I get all the spacing between paragraphs right.
