How do I increase the size of the mouse pointer in Firefox?

Just got a 4k monitor, and my mouse pointer now looks tiny, it's smaller than the letters in this field. Is there a way to increase it's size in Firefox? There seems to be nothing in preferences, and zooming doesn't work for the mouse pointer. Nor does increasing the font size. I am using the Linux distro Elementary OS and I used Gnome Tweaks to increase sizes on my desktop, but this does not affect anything in Firefox. Once again I ask; Is there some way to increase the size of the mouse pointer in Firefox? Thanks in advance for any help

To the best of my knowledge Firefox uses your OS settings for the cursor size. You can try this solution for Elementary OS and see if that works for you.

Hope this helps.
