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]

Ubuntu used to use the patch. Most were upset when it was removed. I think it was a stability issue. If that is still the case the only alternative is to have ubuntu's firefox use a ubuntu theme as default and leave the firefox default as an alternative and while were add it, throw in the Tango firefox theme as well. It's all about choice and flexability!
