Firefox 88 had icons and labels on the main menu and the context menu.  After Firefox 88, it's just labels.

Menu icons give instant visual cues, help speed up the act of finding the needed menu item, plus they help non-tech savvy users.

Idea: Please bring back the menu icons. Or, at least, give us an option to see them.

Removing the icons has become a persistent speedbump in productivity usage despite months of trying to get accustomed to it. It would be great to have icons in the menus again. Thanks

Please bring back ALL the menus, sub-menus, context menus etc label icons for FF macOS.

We humans are highly visual creatures. We rely heavily on visual cues.

Please bring back the menu icons, sub-menu icons, and context menu icons in both Firefox and Thunderbird -- and please colorize all of those icons by default.

The post written by FineWine provides excellent points to support this idea. He lists 5 facts about visual communication and provides a link to the source where he found them for appropriate citation credit.

The lepton CSS theme support menu icons and they whole theme looks way better than default Proton theme. I completely don't understand why Mozilla decided to remove menu icons.
