Firefox fails to load cursors on Wayland #207339

Describe the bug

Firefox fails to load cursors on v108. The following message is recieved for all cursor types:

Gdk-Message: 17:51:21.641: Unable to load left_ptr from the cursor theme

It seems to be because Firefox has stopped profile icons (either ~/.icons or ~/.local/share/icons). Some people on reddit fixed it by symlinking to /usr/share/icons but I tried that it didn't work so I am guessing there needs to be a nix specific workaround to fix this. I am running dwl (not sway) but it seems to be a wayland issue.

Steps To Reproduce

Run firefox v108 on wayland with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1.

Expected behavior

Cursors are loaded.

Additional context

The issues fixes if you run it on XWayland GDK_BACKEND=x11 MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0.
