Firefox changes cursor to adwaita (linux on chromebook)

I have a chromebook with linux enabled and installed firefox according to mozilla's instruction - via the sudo get-apt command. The cursor changes from the default to a very small adwaita. I've spent hours googling this issue and everyone I've come across had used some third party repo or was trying to shove in their own custom cursor theme. Literally all I want is my regular cursor back, and I have no clue why mozilla would have a specifically set cursor for their browser instead of just having it default to os. I don't really know what I'm doing here, but I cannot begin to state how tired I am of messing with this dead-end issue.

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply, and thank you very much for bringing that up!

I'm not sure this issue has ever been reported properly. I would highly appreciate it if you could file a bug on Bugzilla, Mozilla's bug tracker, to ensure it's on the devs' radar. If you do it, please also share a link here.

If you don't want to file a bug, just let me know, and I'll do it for you.
