unclutter doesn't hide firefox pointer (keystroke-based)

[drink]

The program 'unclutter' which hides the mouse pointer after timeout or when typing doesn't work in firefox. The pointer doesn't go away, even with the -visible option.

On a first glance I couldn't reproduce the issue with Quantals'
Firefox tunneled via SSH. I'll check when I get a chance to sit
