Librewolf pointer size under Sway+Wayland

I've tried everything I can think of to try to get librewolf to accept a larger pointer size.

The configuration in the sway configuration works because when over e.g. foot(1)(), the big-size pointer works. Move the pointer over librewolf(1)(), it shrinks down. I've gone several rounds trying to influence librewolf to respect settings, but it remains steadfastly unmoved. Anyone gotten this working -- i'm starting suspect a bug.

Librewolf 139.0-1
Confirmed that it's using wayland and not xwayland as Window Protocol

Any tips?
 
I don't know for sure, but I checked it in Ubuntu Sway Remix 24.04.
It works like this: by default, the cursor size is 24.
I set it to 100. I applied it. It worked in two browsers at once - FF and LibreWolf (size 100!).
But! The mouse cursor size doesn't work, for example, in GIMP and Inkscape! There, the size remains 24, not 100.

But! For some reason, the mouse cursor in Pluma is 100 pixels.
In feet, I also see that the size of the "stick" (not the arrow!) of the mouse is clearly not 100 units, but somewhere around 24 pixels.
Who the hell knows, to be honest.
And there is a convenient interface (see screenshot - GTK Settings).

Just for fun, I loaded the latest version of KDE neon with updates.
So the maximum mouse cursor size there is 72. And it works in GIMP and Inkscape.
In short, this is the behavior on different platforms of Wayland.

Thanks for the testing. It's disappointing confirmation.
