This is something of an odd bug, but here's the story. I was setting up Firebird for a non-Mozilla user and was fiddling in the options window when she exclaimed over my shoulder, "What's that cigarette thing" as she pointed to the Extensions wand icon. I obviously corrected her, but it made me see that it's an easy mistake to make. Perhaps adding a magic hat to the wand would make it clearer. On the other hand, maybe a wand is not the right symbol at all. I can see how the wand is used in the place of a more obvious image, but the connection is nevertheless a weak one. Alternatively, we could get some healthy donations from the tobacco companies if we add a lighter in there. I don't know the solution to this bug, so I want some feedback. Does the Extensions icon look too much like a cigarette?

Never thought of this before, but now that you mention it, yes, it looks very much like a cigarette. Only problem is that the white tip is on the wrong end. ;)

I think if it was changed to having stars instead of just a jet of yellow it might be clearer.

Just a suggestion: How about a puzzle piece?

I noticed that the current extension icon in Thunderbird matches one of the suggestions on here to simply change the trail with stars in the original to merely stars. After looking at the Thunderbird version, it does seem that that small change makes a discernable difference, at least to me. So, I've gone ahead and ripped out their icon for extensions... as well as their icons for General, Themes, and Advanced. I wouldn't have worried about those, except for the fact that the Thunderbird ones are slightly softer edged, and it wouldn't quite have looked right with the new softer extensions icon combined with the harder edged versions of those other three. I think the remaining three (Privacy, Web Features, and Downloads) look fine as they are. I'll go ahead and set this for a review by the assigned owner.

This is a new options.png for FIrefox based on the extensions icon in Thunderbird
Removing now unnecessary review request.
