Control: reassign -1 firefox 119.0-1
Control: retitle -1 firefox: tooltips automatically disappear and hover status 
becomes false when the mouse pointer becomes invisible, e.g. with unclutter
Control: forwarded -1 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1863710

I've noticed this bug on my new machine because Debian installs
unclutter by default!

The problem disappears after I kill unclutter.

Well, it seems that it wasn't fixed after all. I don't know why
I couldn't reproduce it with Firefox Nightly at that time.
