Default Firefox icons are not... the default Firefox icons.

An interesting thought, although I have the same ugly icons in KDE as
well.  Looking around on the 'net, I found a thread at mozillazine.org
that indicates that the Firefox folks would like the default theme to be
consistent across platforms (which makes sense), and this is the case on
every platform I have used Firefox on.  The reason(s) this seems more
like a bug than a feature to me are:

-The icons look nothing like any other platform; which all use the same
default theme

-If you click View --> Toolbars --> Customize, The "Bookmarks, History,
and "Download" icons are non-existent, while the "New Tab" icon looks
like it was drawn by a 3-year old

If for some reason Fedora is going to go with a non-standard theme 
(even though it erroneously claims to be the default theme), can we go 
with something that is at least pleasing to the eye, like Noia or Qute?

Firefox is the default web browser on FC4, it is the App that most 
people use on a frequent basis, and is getting all sorts of press right 
now. All I am asking is that the default icons be the default icons...

Just my 2 cents, and if I had a clue how to fix it myself, I'd submit a patch.  <sigh...>
