when dragging something that's not supposed to be dropped, Firefox uses its
default unavailable/no cursor (a black circle with a slash within) instead of
the system's unavailable cursor.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. Change the system's unavailable cursor to something other than the default

1. Click on the Bookmarks menu
2. Drag a bookmark
- or -
1. Go to any webpage that has some text
2. Select and drag some text

3. Keep dragging around, Firefox's unavailable cursor will be shown when what's
being dragged is not supposed to be dropped there

Actual Results:  
Firefox's unavailable cursor is shown

Expected Results:  
The system's unavailable cursor should be used

By the way, if you try to drag some text on a webpage, it'll initially show the
unavailable cursor, and when you keep dragging it to the url bar, it shows the
drop/move cursor, but if you now drag it back to the webpage, the drag/move
cursor will stay instead of an unavailable cursor (and a drop there will treat
the dropped text as url, which is quite inconsistent...)

let me clarify the 2nd comment:

with a new profile (no extensions), Firefox still shows a drop/move cursor when
moving back from the url bar, just a drop doesn't do anything...

Firefox/1.0+ - I dragged a bookmark to the the file menu and the taskbar they
were both the same cursor. I also checked what cursor appears when you drag a
desktop file to the taskbar and once again the same cursor appeared.

that's interesting...
you sure you change the system's default unavailable cursor?

Comment 5

[Mike Mariano]

Kaki, I followed your instructions and was able to reproduce this behavior.

However, I then followed your instructions not in Firefox, but in Microsoft
Word.  I selected text and dragged it to the toolbar, and the same thing
happened.  The black slashed circle appeared instead of my selected
"unavailable" cursor.

This is likely a bug in Windows, not Firefox.  Should it be marked INVALID?

I agree it's the inconsistency in Windows, not Firefox's fault.
Whoever has the privilege please close this bug with invalid or whatever
appropriate.
