Uh... The cursor is wait in that testcase while you're hovering over the <html> element. You can add a border on <html> to see where its boundaries are.
I have no idea why other browsers are doing something different here; what we're doing seems correct per spec.

But I have an idea. Other browsers distinguish html from the body element.
HTML fills the whole window vertically. Body no.
Try new testcase: http://pc44.one.pl/goorol/bugs/firefox/cursor.html
<style type="text/css">
html{background:#bbbbbb;cursor:wait}
body{background:#ffff00}
</style>

A add grey background to see that HTML is whole window. Where is cursor:wait on grey area ??

Background on the root element is special-cased in CSS to apply to the viewport instead of the element itself. This is why I told you to use border to see what the the actual size of the <html> is.

OK.
Imagine that cursor on root element SHOULD be also special-cased in CSS to apply to the viewport instead of the element itself.
It is normal behaviout - we want some cursor over background filled element.
WebKit, Trident, Presto and KHTML... As many as four independent engines can not go wrong at once. The Gecko takes bad foundation.

Then the CSS spec needs to say that. Right now it doesn't. I suggest mailing www-style@w3.org about that if you think the spec needs to change.

Sure they can. It's happened before (with Gecko in that list of 4 at times).

Imagine a situation where a user makes an artistic side. He wants a beautiful decorative basic cursor. Unfortunately, not in firefox because the site is lower than the browser window.

I understand the use case. I'm just saying that the spec doesn't allow that behavior at the moment.

min-height, not height.
I think a special case for the root element would make sense. Why don't you propose that on www-style? (If you provide a testcase showing that the proposed change already matches the behavior of 4 browsers, it'll probably be received positively.)
However, you should probably also test if browsers special-case 'cursor' on body when it's not specified on the root.

http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/ui.html#cursor-props is the spec you want to comment on.

I'd like to include this detail in CSS3-UI as well, here:
