Bug Description
The default Firefox setup only shows icons in the main toolbar while all other GNOME applications (Nautilus, Evolution, GEdit) show icons and text by default. For consistency and integration it would be better to enable "Text and icons" by default so that Firefox doesn't look out of place.
Steps to reproduce are simply starting Firefox and some other GNOME application and observing a difference in the toolbar layout.

Thanks for your bug report. I think the firefox buttons only have icons as a design decision. The logic is that it helps to maximise the amount of a webpage that can be displayed and reduce the clutter of toolbars, button labels and such. Personally I prefer the buttons to be without text and just have descriptive icons on them but I'm not sure whether the consistency between firefox and gnome applications is actually a formal usability issue or not.
