559722 - Consider permitting generic cursor property change for visited links

Status: NEW

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, enhancement)

Description

[Masatoshi Kimura [:emk]]

To identify visited links more easily, some users had used userContent.css such as:
a:visited { cursor: alias !important; }
a[target="_blank"] { cursor: crosshair !important; }
a[target="_blank"]:visited { cursor: all-scroll !important; }
Bug 147777 made it impossible.
Global history is unlikely to leak from cursor property without user interaction because it does not affect page layout at all.
Is it possible to enable cursor property for visited links?
Of course, we shouldn't allow url loading via cursor property. Only generic cursor should be allowed.
