User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091017 SeaMonkey/2.0 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091017 SeaMonkey/2.0 In SM1, when a page is currently loading, the mouse cursor changes to the "Application starting" cursor. That is, the arrow with a little hourglass. Now in SM2, there is no visual indication on the mouse cursor that the page is loading. Yes, I know, there are the turning arrows on the tab icon. But I find it much easier to see that the page is loading when the mouse cursor is showing it. Is there a way to reactivate the previous behavior? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on a link to load a page, preferably one that takes a long time to come through Actual Results: The mouse cursor does not change Expected Results: The mouse cursor changes to "Application start" just like in SM1

Summary: SM2 : Mouse cursor when loading a page is no longer the "Application start" cursor → Mouse cursor when loading a page is no longer the "Application start" cursor

The Behavior has been changed in Core Code per Bug 481359. The Pref ui.use_activity_cursor is now available (Bug 482985) and pref'ed off in Fx per Default. A decision for non-MacOS Behavior has yet not been made. So either this should be marked as a Dupe of Bug 482985 or morphed into a SM Bug, no?

For those who, like me, come back here and have read the duplicated bug, the preference is now called browser.spin_cursor_while_busy and works fine if set to true
