My rationale is that Ubuntu is going for a GNOME desktop and so all applications should look and behave similarly. Consistent icons can help users navigate the menu, especially in Firefox where there are more items.
I see your point about menu-to-menu consistency. In that case, the answer is probably to add icons to the other menus as well. If you're against using the icons, then I'd say the textual issues mentioned in this bug should still be addressed. -- Help Menu Inconsistencies https://launchpad.net/bugs/41695 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
