Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:131.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/131.0

Steps to reproduce:

Set up a new installation of Kubuntu, which comes with the snap version of Firefox preloaded. Applied the "Breeze" theme in system settings.

Actual results:

Firefox, and only Firefox, continues to use the default theme for mouse cursors and minimise/maximise/close buttons.

There is some discussion of this issue and a partial solution here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/1g2x6b4/firefox_snap_falling_back_to_aidwata_cursor_theme/

Running sudo snap connect firefox:icon-themes icon-theme-breeze solved the cursor issue, but window management buttons remain unthemed.

Expected results:

Firefox should respect GUI themes like other applications.
