This patch should fix the issue. Problem was a wrong implementation of the protocol spec. The thing that triggered it was a LeaveNotify event with detail NotifyInferior that had the child window set to a value other than None. This again triggered something internal in firefox and it would keep changing the cursor window back to the normal one instead of the link cursor.

Reproduceble testcase: open firefox, move into main window, then move up into menu bar, back into main window and hover over a link. The cursor immediately changes back to the normal cursor.

The patch sets the "child" field to None for all events with NotifyInferior. Only NotifyVirtual may have the "child" field set to a window.
