It's isolated to firefox, afaik most likely (maybe only likely?)
to occur if you don't use a "desktop environment", it's due to
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1871863
(see also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1876366#c15)
and it's a flipping nuisance.

That is the hack they added that is supposed to undo this change.
It doesn't do anything for me though.

If you're not using a desktop environment, you can run xsettingsd
with this in .xsettingsd to set a cursor theme:

Gtk/CursorThemeName "Adwaita"

However then in some setups you'll get stupidly large pointers in
Gtk based software.
