Sorry, but "cursor: hand" is non-standard CSS. You mean "cursor: pointer".
See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/ui.html#cursor-props

Marking INVALID.

Verified.

Yep.   Looking into it further, I've discovered it's one of those IE-Only 
things.    Too bad neither Netscape nor IE supports "cursor: pointer"

That's not really a problem, just do: 

  a { cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; }

Is there any way to put custom cursors in pages in Mozilla?

[roberjruiz]

You should use {cursor: pointer; cursor: hand;}. If you use {cursor: hand;
cursor: pointer;} it won't work in IExplorer.
