There really should be a magnifying glass icon beside the "Search Tabs" option in the tabs menu. It makes it clearer and immediately obvious what that option is. It's just strange to see a search option without a magnifying glass icon beside it. Also, notice Chrome has it there (they recently borrowed the tabs menu idea from Firefox)

The icon was intentionally removed as part of the Firefox 89 redesign.

Then I guess this is a request that they reconsider that decision. There are good reasons that a magnifying glass icon is almost universally beside the word "search" throughout the internet, it's actually really strange to see it without a magnifying glass icon

To be honest it would be more strange to have this icon since all other menu icons were removed as well. It doesn't make much sense to have this one icon if icons are not used at all in these menus.

Is there a bug requesting they reconsider the decision to remove icons from all menus? If so, I guess this one would count as a duplicate of that.

Changing severity to S4 because: minor significance and low impact to users
