I would have thought you could change the Firefox-specific application
theme in Tools->Themes in Firefox, but it looks like there's no option
there for now.

We use a consistent icon theme across the whole desktop and apps.
Application-specific theme systems are generally considered Evil.

The right fix if you like those Firefox icons would be for someone to
make a theme in that style for the whole desktop.

Not in the global Prefs->Theme theme dialog since the firefox theme is
only a firefox theme, not a desktop theme.
