• Bookworm: Mouse cursor issues after upgrading to FireFox v128?

    Hi,

    Problem: After upgrading to Firefox v128 from v115, Firefox seems to have stopped using some mouse cursors as per the active KDE mouse cursor theme (the Oxygen White theme, in my case). For some reason, instead of showing the white arrow mouse cursor as
    per the theme, FF now shows a black mouse cursor.

    Used to work fine in FF v115 (and many prior FF versions) before the upgrade.

    More info:

    1. The issue appears to affect all mouse cursor themes (Adwaita, all Oxygen, etc) with the exception of Breeze cursor themes (maybe because I'm using Breeze global desktop theme?).

    2. Only the first (and perhaps the most important) arrow mouse cursor is affected, the rest seem to work properly. For example, with the Oxygen White cursor theme active, FF v128 shows black arrow mouse cursor instead of the white arrow cursor, but also
    correctly shows the white hand from the the Oxygen White theme when the cursor hovers over the links.

    3. With the Breeze Light theme active, FF v128 correctly shows all mouse cursors, including showing the white arrow cursor when appropriate.

    Any ideas? Thanks


    KDE global theme: Breeze
    KDE mouse cursor theme: Oxygen White (other Oxygen mouse cursor themes also have the above issue)

    Also filed a bug as I think it needs to be solved on the package level: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1084802
