Title:
  Firefox needs to use "gtk_image_menu_item_set_always_show_image" for
  essential icons.

Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser:
  Fix Released
Status in firefox-3.5 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Icons are not displayed by default in either context menus, dialogue
  buttons or firefox bookmarks menu

  Upstream is setting these two options to false by default.
  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=557469
  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583352

  To ensure that *essential* icons are displayed, relevant applications
  must be patched.

  Design Suggestion:
  Meanwhile, now that we have flicked the switch and set icons to be off by default, we need to fix relevant applications to match. You can help! Whenever you see a program that has menu items for objects where those menu items now don't include icons, report a bug on the program that it should use always-show-icons for those particular items. And conversely, whenever you see a program with icons on menu items for things that aren't objects, report a bug that the icons should be removed.

  Examples of menu items that count as objects, and should therefore
  have icons: applications, documents (including any recent documents in
  a "File" menu), disks, partitions, folders, bookmarks, history items,
  IM accounts, IM statuses, user accounts.

  Examples of menu items that don't count as objects, and should
  therefore *not* have icons: openable windows (e.g. "Edit" >
  "Preferences" or "Go" > "Edit Bookmarks"), toolbars (e.g. "View" >
  "Toolbars" > anything), actions (e.g. "Go" > "Back").

  Unlike menus in Windows, whether a menu item has an equivalent toolbar button is irrelevant to whether the menu item should have an icon.
  ----------------

  Please use this bug report only for Firefox, and report missing menu
  icons in other applications as separate bugs. Otherwise anyone who
  fixes the bug in one package will be punished by being spammed about
  changes in packages they have no interest in. Use a common tag ("menu-
  icons") for bug reports on this issue.
