A white outline would be nice. It was pretty confusing to see my cursor turn
into a little white circle with a + in it, until I realized it was a zoom cursor.

For clarification, these are the zoom in/out cursors that appear when Mozilla
automatically resizes an image, such as the one pointed to in the URL field of
this bug.

I've confirmed the bug and also downgraded status from Normal to Trivial (could
probably even go down to Enhancement, if someone thinks so) and changed OS to
All since it is not specific to Linux. I can't say if they're interested in
"fixing" it, though--we'll have to see. :)

This is a general bug (Windows only?) with CSS 
 cursor: -moz-zoom-in | -moz-zoom-out;
Please change component if wrong.

Hmm, yes, this doesn't happen on OS X, only on Windows (maybe Linux as well). But how does it get this cursor? From the system? (Or, if it's supplied by Mozilla, why does it different across platforms for no reason that I can see?)

Some cursors are provided by the system on operating systems that support them and provided by Mozilla otherwise.  In the case of -moz-zoom-in and -moz-zoom-out, it looks like we provide our own on all platforms.  We have different ones on different platforms, though, which in theory might fit in on those platforms.
