Currently MUCs cannot have a buddy icon, the element is not display in the conversation top UI. For some protocols (I'm thinking Twitter here, see bug 954227 (bio 793)), it would be useful to show the appropriate icon, even though the conversation is a MUC.

Do any of the protocols we have even support icons for MUCs? (IRC does NOT, as far as I know.)

If not, it's possible we could let the user set an icon for each MUC to quickly differeniate (i.e. set the Instantbird icon for #instantbird and the Thunderbird icon for #maildev, etc.)

On the behalf of Florian:
Closing bugs related to the Instantbird UI as WONTFIX, as the development of the standalone chat client Instantbird has stopped. Instantbird users are encouraged to migrate to Thunderbird. The user interface of instant messaging in Thunderbird will feel familiar, as the Thunderbird IM support started as a fork of Instantbird.
