Same problem on the Linux Flatpak of Firefox

I think this might be a Firefox/packaging bug, since I can't reproduce this on the Firefox package from Arch Linux, but I can reproduce this on the Flatpak version.

I can repro this on NixOS aswell. Firefox on macOS is the official binary by Mozilla.

Running into this issue on LibreWolf too (librewolf package from the AUR). Maybe relevant firefox bugtrackker issue: CSS cursor:none not working

One thing of note might be that autoplay is disabled for me; in the settings aswell as the browser.

I agree, this looks like a recently introduced Firefox issue, as we didn't touch that player code recently and it hasn't been an issue before.

The cursor hides if it is right under the seek bar, everywhere else it doesn't. I have no idea if it is useful in any way, but it is kind of a workaround for now.

Fedora KDE 39 (wayland), Firefox 123.0.1

Another workaround is to press the space bar to play the video (or double tab if it's already playing).
