Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 508221

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[Xavier Robin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); fr; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091016 Firefox/3.5.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); fr; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091016 Firefox/3.5.4

If I understand it correctly, it is now Gnome's default not to display icons in application menus. It can be changed by going to the System > Preferences > Appearance menu, Interface tab and by checking the "Show icons in menus" checkbox.

However, I feel that the icons in the search engines drop-down list in the search bar are not regular menu icons, and should always be displayed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In gnome, go to System > Preferences > Appearance > Interface and uncheck Show icons in menus
2. Start or restart Firefox

Actual Results:  
In the search bar engines list, icons are not displayed

Expected Results:  
Icons should always be displayed

A CSS style such as  
 #search-popupset .menu-iconic-left {
     visibility: visible!important;
 }
forces the search engine icons to be always displayed.
