Bug 1386576 - Use list-style-image rather than the image attribute for items in the back/forward menu so that CSS can override this to display back/forward icons.

https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/163820/#review169182

I wonder why I changed that originally,

Dunno what happened. I somehow must have pushed to review an older revision of my patch. :/ The extra parenthesis completely broke the build and I had definitely fixed and tested this locally.

Taking it for beta. Should be in 56 beta 2.
For now, for release, I don't think we should take it. We had the issue for the whole 56 beta cycle and afaik, nobody complaint about this bug.
Should ship with 57 instead.

If you disagree, feel free to reach out to me.

I guess it's too late now anyway. It's irritating that this extremely simple patch was sitting around for six days when presumably it could have landed easily on release during that time.

It's not that easy to notice, because the arrows are only really helpful when the menu contains both back and forward items. But when it happens, it can be irritating.

Actually, we saw your bug back then. We (Julien and I) made the call not to take it because rc3 was already started and it would have delayed the 55 release itself.

irritating a lot or a bit ? :)
(try to see if I should change my mind or not)

A bit.

I tested this bug using Nightly from 2017-08-02, latest Nightly, beta 56.0b2 and beta 56.0b3 on Windows 10 x64, Ubuntu 16.04 x64 and macOS 10.12 and I couldn't reproduce it.

The way I performed the testing was by accessing a site and click on different links, then I right-click and navigated with the arrows from context menu. There wasn't any situation in which the arrows were missing. Maybe I missed something, can you please give me some additional information about how could I reproduce this?

This bug is about the back and forward buttons' context menu, not about the content area context menu.

Oh yeah, looks like I was missing something after all, sorry for that. Thanks for the clarification!

I retested everything and I managed to reproduce the problem on the Nightly from 2017-08-02 using Windows 10 x64, Ubuntu 16.04 x64 and macOS 10.12.

I also verified the bug on Beta 56.0b3 and latest Nightly 57.0a1 using all three platforms and the bug seems fixed.
