Firefox: Difference between revisions

Firefox version 89, code named "Proton", brought the first major redesign since version 57 "Quantum". One of the changes were the removal of icons from the text labels in the main menu, leaving text-only labels. There was a Mozilla Connect post that the community manager recognized has "quickly received a great deal of votes" that described wanting menu icons back, or an option to enable it, given that they receive more visual clues to work and thus speed finding the needed menu item.<ref>[https://connect.mozilla.org:443/t5/ideas/bring-back-menu-icons/idi-p/46 Bring back menu icons - Mozilla Connect]</ref> By not implementing this suggestion, the average user has to put more effort into finding the wanted menu option.{{Citation needed|reason=Low reliability|date=27 Mar 2026}}<ref>[https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/nsooaf/why_would_you_folks_remove_icons_from_the_menu/ Why would you folks remove icons from the menu? : firefox] - Reddit</ref><ref>[https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1i3vcbj/how_have_they_still_not_returned_the_menu_icons/ How have they still not returned the menu icons to Firefox Desktop? : firefox]</ref> In comparison, the mobile version of Firefox, as well as the other major web browsers (Edge, Chrome desktop, Chrome mobile) do have icons in their main menus.{{Citation needed|date=27 Mar 2026}}
