Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

Firefox should follow the system's setting for the toolbar: show both text and icons, or only icons, depending on what the user set in preferences → appearance.

On the GNOME desktop there is a setting which controls the way toolbar buttons should present themselves. This setting lives on gconf key /desktop/gnome/interface/toolbar_style and, I believe, is also present through the XSETTINGS mechanism.

For the sake of platform integration Firefox should try to follow this setting as best it can.

Reproducible: Always
