Inconsistent icons in toolbar

Bug Description

The icons used in the Firefox toolbar do not match any of the desktop's other icons or colors. The back and forward buttons are green, refresh is blue, home is white and yellow. Firefox is alone in this regard, all other bundled applications do seem to use the default icons from the Human theme.

Is it possible to use the Ubuntu default "Human" icons instead of the current icons which (in my opinion) look out of place on a default Ubuntu installation?

I can confirm this. Perhaps a little something for the artwork team?

This is definitely not a duplicate of #39264 which I have filed myself - this bug, #42265, is about the icons used in the main toolbar. The main toolbar is where the "Back", "Forward" and so forth icons are located in the main window. #39264 on the other hand is about the colors used in the Firefox theme.

Can someone please undupe this bug or explain why this is supposed to be a dupe?

I'm going to try to get in touch with ubuntu-art@l.u.c to get some opinions on this bug alongside the others I've recently filed. I'm hoping to stir up some discussion and working towards an acceptable solution.

Please see my comments in 8887. No work should be started on new icons until we've had a proper discussion about it in ubuntu-devel and come to a conclusion about the correct way forward.

Please do not discuss this decision in this bug report; bug reports are not a good venue for these kind of discussions.
