Title:
  Firefox dependency on gnome-icon-theme should be made explicit

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  The maverick firefox package 3.6.11+build3+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.10.1
  depends on the gnome-icon-theme package for the "forward" and "back"
  button icons, but this dependency isn't explicit. So if you just
  install firefox without also installing gnome-icon-theme, you don't
  get forward and back buttons.

  The obvious fix is to add the dependency in the .deb, but I think a
  better fix would be to eliminate the dependency. Given that the icon
  package is over 13MB, and firefox itself is less than 10MB, it just
  seems silly.

  This bug didn't exist in lucid. I think it would fall back to some
  other icons if the gnome ones weren't available. So maybe the root bug
  is in firefox. I'd be happy to file a bug with Mozilla too.
