Expected results:

Some theme icons on macOS are very old-looking. There's a question icon that is used a lot throughout Firefox on macOS and it should be replaced. It's used on the "close multiple tabs?" dialog, for example. The about:blocked favicon is also very outdated and low resolution. There are various other old-looking theme icons, but these are the ones that I've seen actually used.

I recreated some of them quickly, with the Inter font (open-source, used throughout Firefox branding and looks similar to San Fransisco). They are svg icons that look much better on high-DPI displays.

If anyone is interested, I will attach the icons. It will likely require a bit of changes in the code to refer to these new icons instead of the old icons.

(the current icons are located in /toolkit/themes/osx/global/icons, sorry, forgot to add that) :)

This is the last one, I apologize if I'm being spammy.
