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

I would like to suggest adding small icons to Firefox context menu items.

Many context-menu actions are currently distinguished only by their text labels. Adding recognizable icons next to frequently used actions would make the menu easier to scan and would allow users to identify common actions more quickly without having to read every label.

For example, actions such as Back, Forward, Reload, Copy, Paste, Save, Translate, Open in New Tab, and similar commands could have consistent icons.

The icons should remain subtle and consistent with Firefox overall design language, so the menu does not become visually cluttered.

This would improve both usability and visual clarity, particularly for users who frequently use the context menu.

Thank you for considering this suggestion.

Return icons to the menu

I suggest returning icons to the menu, as they were in the old Firefox (Optional)
