Hi Frank!
The firefox theme called Tango Icons [1] is quite a nice theme to work 
upon. Nico Kaiser and Garrett LeSage made a really nice looking theme 
that goes very well together with Tangerine and Human. Replacing stuff 
like the arrows, folders and other stuff with the ones from Tangerine 
will be a easy job.
Also, there seems to exist a patch to make firefox pick up the icons 
from the normal icon theme [2]
