There are basically two ways of fixing this bug.
1) As stated before, under System -> Preferences -> Appearance check "Show
icons in menus". After restarting Firefox, the icons should be there again.
2) If you don't want the icons in other applications, and you feel they are
missing only in Firefox search bar, install the Stylish extension [1] and add
the following as a new style:
#search-popupset .menu-iconic-left {
visibility: visible!important;
}
note: remove "#search-popupset" if you want the icons in all Firefox
menus.
I believe this is a bug in Firefox, which should be reported upstream.
Firefox should display these icons even if "Show icons in menus" is
unchecked. I opened it:
