A blinking cursor appears on every web pages.
It's a blinking cursor that appears on every web pages in different sizes when I click anywhere on the web pages.
Look at following pictures please:

I believe that it's been originated and are spread from Google's Keyboard Navigation feature. As you may know, if you are using Google's Instant Search feature, you can use the keyboard to navigate Google's search result page.
I did turn off the Instant Search to disable Keyboard Navigation, but the blinking cursor is still blinking on every Google and non-Google web pages.
Next as a standard troubleshooting procedures for strange behavior I cleared cache and cookies , but it didn't help.
I was using Firefox 3.6, so I uninstalled 3.6 (kept my personal information) and installed the latest version (3.6.13), but it didn't fix the problem.
I don't see that cursor in IE. How can I get rid of it?
Thanks in advance.

You probably have caret browsing mode turned on. When Caret Browsing is on, web pages act like word processor documents, with a blinking vertical bar that shows you where you are in the document. Press F7, this toggles carat browsing mode on/off.
In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you can disable the F7 shortcut that toggles caret browsing by setting the pref accessibility.browsewithcaret_shortcut.enabled to false if you do not want to use that feature.
