Oops. I didn’t mean to insult your extension in any way. I called it “useless” because it’s cosmetic. It makes the browser more pleasant and the options easier to spot, so in that way it’s not “useless” at all - I’m using it both on Linux and Windows.

Sorry about the misunderstanding.

You’re welcome. And yes, the icons can actually make the menus more user friendly…

Until I read your post I never noticed that basically all of the menu items in Firefox lack icons, now that I noticed it I think I want to install this pluging…in fact I just did.

Thanks for the info.

IMHO it increases the usability of (any) software. Having something to recognize in a Menu entry, like those icons, makes it easier, again IMHO, to navigate.
