Firefox 123.0-1 doesn't respect my cursor theme (oxygen white)

Potomac · 2024-02-24 19:43:18

Hello,

I use plasma, since the update of firefox (123.0-1) I notice that firefox doesn't respect the cursor theme I set in plasma settings (oxygen white),
inside firefox GUI it's Adwaita cursor theme that is used (black cursor) and not oxygen white.

I checked gtk3.0 config file : ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

and I can see that the cursor theme is correctly configured :

gtk-cursor-theme-name=Oxygen_White

And I checked XCURSOR_THEME in the console :

$ echo $XCURSOR_THEME
Oxygen_White

I started firefox with a new profile but the bug is still here, do you have also the same problem ?

Thanks.

I'm using Gnome, but as far as I know, Plasma moved to Wayland as well, this might be your issue, by default Firefox does run on the legacy x server, you need to set en env variable to force it to use wayland :

Try using this command to add the environment variable :

 echo MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 | sudo tee -a /etc/environment

You then need to logoff/logon for the environment variable to be visible by all applications (firefox).

From KDE Plasma v6 onwards, it should be Wayland https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/kde-dro … -that-case

It's only in firefox I have this cursor theme problem, and only in the 123 version, If I downgrade firefox to the previous then there is no bug for the cursor theme,

others application (gimp, thunderbird, kde applications) don't have this problem.

I tried the "MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1" in /etc/environment but it doesn't solve the problem.

This was worth a try, if you're on Wayland it's still goot to keep this setting, Firefox is smoother while on Wayland when it has this setting.

You could give https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 1#p2082761 a try, no idea whether that's the problem but from superficially skimming the bug, it might be.

I notice that the problem doesn't occur with some cursor themes,

for example if I select "breeze" cursor theme in plasma settings then all is ok with firefox.

seth · 2024-02-24 21:39:42

The bug talks about symlink and pointer and hand and css names… try the script and whether it completes anything in your preferred theme - then the impact on FF (you might have to restart that to get rid of caches)

I have the same problem. Using KDE on X11, cursor theme set to "Oxygen White", but in Firefox now it shows the default cursor as "Adwaita". Strangely, it does respect the "Oxygen White" theme for the non-default states, like when I hover over a link or over text. I didn't find a workaround for now, so let's see if there are updates in the Firefox bugzilla reports.

seth · 2024-02-25 15:36:29

Has anyone tried to just make sure that the theme is (more) complete wrt. the flurry of different names used for the different cursors?

Yes, that was the problem. "Oxygen White" did not have a cursor icon named "default"! Weird, because "default" should be the first cursor icon that one should have.

So as a workaround, I did (as root):

cp /usr/share/icons/Oxygen_White/cursors/left_ptr /usr/share/icons/Oxygen_White/cursors/default

I think the icon named "left_ptr" is the one that was being used as default, so I copied that one to a file named "default" and after login out and in again it now works.

Thanks for the suggestion!

The script I linked in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 3#p2152963 should™ be able to heristically complete any cursor theme or warn you if a cursor seems completely missing.

As a heads up the link you linked there goes to the networkmanager ip assignment bug thread, you likely meant to link somewhere else

Whooppala…
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 1#p2082761 - fixed the previous post as well.
Thanks V1del.

It's a script.
You copy that into some file, call it "fixmycursortheme.sh" or whatever, make it executable and run it.
It'll fix t he themes in the current directory when it's */cursors and otherwise every cursor theme in your ~/.icons
