Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

In Karmic , when firefox is running for *several hours* the cursor movement 
becomes sluggish.
as in > when the cursor is moved with the arrow keys pressed [key press repeat 
enabled]
- the cursor stops , as if the cursor got stuck because firefox is not 
responding , and then appears at the new location.
- when actually it is just not displayed during the movement. 

This does not happen when firefox is started fresh. it only happens when
firefox has been running for several hours [in my case i keep firefox
running always and only close it when i notice such behavior.]

This is a regression and did not occur with firefox 3.0

This may be related to Bug #413950 and the upstream bug >
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=511955

Or to the firefox behavior of hogging memory , but this did not happen
in previous versions where even when memory usage increased,over long
hours of use, the cursor did not show such behavior.
