I have similar problem on Ubuntu 18.04.5 (standard GNOME environment) I can open new windows and my cursor is not busy. I have only problem when I close firefox and start with new process. My firefox is 85.0.1 (64-bit), kernel release of my system: 5.4.0-65-generic.
Actual results: The cursor is busy when I start firefox. First run for the firefox looks normally but when I close program or kill process and run my firefox second time this bug is affected. Of course if I want to run my firefox next times this bug also affected. My cursor is busy when I moved my cursor to the top of the screen near date and time place. Expected results: When I start firefox my cursor shouldn't be busy when firefox is loaded. I mean that this cursor should be busy only for the few seconds. When firefox are loaded and the start page is also loaded this should end spinning of my cursor. P.S. On Ubuntu 20.04 I don't have this bug. Only on Bionic family except Lubuntu system which works fine. So it is a question. This is problem with firefox or the system? I wrote on Ubuntu bug report but they suggested to write here so I am.

When I run firefox this loading too long (circle spinning - animation of my cursor). I noticed this bug also on Xubuntu 18.04.4 on another computer. On Lubuntu 18.04.5 system on another computer I don't have these kind of bug so it is problem with Ubuntu and Xubuntu system. On Ubuntu 20.04 and Ubuntu 20.04.1 I don't have these bug. Of course I have updated system. I noticed also that if I will run firefox for the first time after booting my system this bug is not exist. I have this bug for the second run of the firefox and next. I have this problem also booting my computer with live USB with clear system image with Ubuntu 18.04.5. Like I earlier said this is problem with the system. When I use Ubuntu 20.04 I don't have this problem. My system is clean this is fresh install. I don't know what is problem but I am sure that everyone with Ubuntu 18.04.5 have this problem. Firefox is the newest 85.0.1 version. On older vesion I also had this problem in Ubuntu 18.04.5. Firefox start with no errors. No errors is a shown in terminal. Problem is with spinning with the cursor. When I run firefox cursor is spinning but firefox normally works. This cursor spinning only when I move this cursor on GNOME environment (top of the screen I don't know what is the name of this. This is graphic bar? When I run firefox in this "graphic bar" are shown name of the program (in my case firefox). On Ubuntu 20.04 my cursor doesn't spinning. Like I said this is problem only with Ubuntu 18.04.5 and Xubuntu 18.04.4 system. So this is the problem with bionic family but on Lubuntu 18.04.4 and 18.04.5 and doesn't have this problem too. I tried reinstall firefox but this doesn't help. I also deleted files for firex in /home but this also doesn't help. I think that this problem is more complicated. Can you fix it? I am sure that everyone have this problem.
