They should have the same color as other toolbar icons, see http://design.firefox.com/people/shorlander/photon/Mockups/windows-10.html.

They problem seems to be that the icons don't support context-fill-opacity.

Is this one similar to this problem ?

Yeah, similar, but not the same. It's all about context-fill and context-fill-opacity :)

If you want to solve those bugs, I'm happy to help.

Adding a screenshot to clarify the bug. Top is the current toolbar, bottom is the mockup.

fwiw, I think this is more a P2, the icons look ugly on Win10 and are eye-catching due to the bold border. Surely we can survive it, but releasing a shiny new polished theme with unpolished icons doesn't sound great. On the other side the bookmarks views are all hidden by default.
fwiw, also the bookmarks toolbar, bookmarks menu and Other bookmarks icons are over contrasted compared to the mockups (check the bookmarks sidebar)

Hey, Just checked the codes and looks like the mockup icon[0] and the one existing in the codebase[1] have different color fill. Am I right ? or does it matter ?

I don't know the Photon workflow very well (I worked mostly on the backend and Address bar parts) so I'm leaving this to Johann. Usually the best persons to answer these questions are UX team members.

Hi everyone.
BTW according to this guide (Folder-16) that icon should be different
http://design.firefox.com/icons/viewer/
Also it is more "Photon style" than the one currently in Nightly.

So which one is actually the correct one...

That's true, but it uses filter: invert(100%) for dark mode and I think we'd like to avoid that. We might not match the icon colors from the mockup exactly, but we should be able to get a little closer through applying context-fill-opacity. It would be interesting to know how that would look on the folder.svg icon for light and dark toolbar backgrounds. Can you try it? :)

The one that's in your bookmarks toolbar right now. See bug 1363028 comment 31.

In fact I did already, but didn't really see any difference with my bare eyes. 
Can you check if I did it correctly ?
Not attaching as a patch because it's not complete yet. some icons might not need this (in this bug) or some may.
here are my changes : https://pastebin.com/sJ1fCK2j
You can check it yourself by applying it locally.
Let me know what happens.

I think that's what we want. The color of the icons is toned down a little by the extra opacity, so that they now have the same grey as the other toolbar buttons, if I'm not mistaken.

I just took a cursory look (the patch didn't apply cleanly), feel free to submit a patch.

This one applies cleanly. Please have a look.

it looks slightly better, but it's still far from the official mockup. More specifically, the border of the folders is still too bold, epecially at the bottom.

From an IRC conversation with shorlander it turns out that this is an issue with the SVG file, that we will fix in bug 1385519. I don't think the issue is large enough to block this bug from moving forward.
I agree, the current patch is already an improvement. Though, bug 1385519 doesn't contain any comment about the need to further update the folder icons too, so it would be nice if you could report the result of your conversation there, or it could get lost into nothing.
I'm still not sure why these bugs are considered P4, while the bookmarking UI is not visible by default, it is quite used yet and it looks so ugly I'm not sure how we could accept ship 57 with the de-facto situation.
