Steps to reproduce:

The icons on tabs are really small. If you have pinned tabs, it looks pretty ridiculous.

From Windows xp to Windows 7, the start menu used larger icons to represent apps. It provides a greater emphasis on the visual than text.

This should be similarly done in the tabs.

Hi Tommy

Could you possibly provide a screenshot of what you are seeing right now?

I don't think we will do this, because the larger icons would result in significantly more vertical space being used, as well as significantly more horizontal space, reducing the number of tabs you could keep visible and/or how much of the tab title you could read.

If you think this is a very bad decision and very important, consider writing to firefox-dev (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/firefox-dev) with more details about why you think this is necessary, a good idea, etc.

Thanks!
