KDE Cursor themes have to show.

Mouse Cursor Theme not working inside Firefox. But works well outside the page. My System also has Gnome. Instead KDE Cursor, Gnome's one is loading. It works well for a while. But not now. I've deleted the .kde files in the home. But no Hope. also updated 'update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme'. again the same.

It sounds like you're saying this is a regression. Can you use mozregression ( https://harthur.wordpress.com/2010/09/13/mozregression-update/ ) to figure out when this broke?

This really isn't a Firefox theme issue; it's more likely to do with the gtk widget implementation. Even so, without more details it's very hard to be sure.

I don't think it makes sense to keep this open without more details. I expect it got fixed by bug 310924, but it's hard to be sure. Marking as incomplete for now, please feel free to reopen if you can still reproduce this with more recent builds, and can provide more details as to what's wrong.

Came here to confirm this is still present for KDE desktop. I am using KDE Neon user edition 5.6.

For Firefox to use the system cursor theme you need to:

System setting > Application Style > Gnome Application Style

and change to the cursor theme you wish.

In the end a gtk widget implementation problem not a Firefox bug, which i believe is pretty common for KDE related stuff.
