Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

Attachment: screenshot (top part filed as Bug 508221)

Related to bug 504275, GNOME recently set menus_have_icons to false by default.
[1] What this means is that menus will no longer show icons, including the tabs dropdown.
However, bookmarks (and favicons) are exceptions that should use icons
according to the guidelines [2] and those can be set to "always-show-icons"
property (GtkImageMenuItem).

These two rules can be combined:

/* favicons override the "images-in-menus" metric in xul.css */
.alltabs-item > .menu-iconic-left,
.bookmark-item > .menu-iconic-left {
  visibility: inherit;
}

Actually, this belongs in tabbrowser.css. I'll move it there before landing. Thanks Martin!

Verified fixed on trunk and 1.9.2 with:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.3a1pre) Gecko/20090920 Minefield/3.7a1pre ID:20090920031240

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2a2pre) Gecko/20090921 Namoroka/3.6a2pre ID:20090921035151

Given bug 504275 a fix on 1.9.1 would be needed too.

Probably too late for 3.5.4. But asking anyway. Patch is simple and applies well to 1.9.1.

There's no reason for us to take this at this point. Linux distros can fix it on their side or wait for 3.6.
