Firefox icons are often well taken care of (they "sign" the theme), but when it comes to the other icons they just become unreadable very often. I remember back in Firefox 1.5 days (gosh, seems an eternity) of one theme in particular which handled all icons alike (resizing them in a square button), but that is an exception. So the result, with many icons, is a display which appears unbalanced. That is also why I tend to stick on light themes.
