I suspect that it is either: the extensions i'm using (adblock, noscript, cookiemonster?) or my machine setup: openSuse 11.1.
Today i'm posting on something which I have noticed: I think the 'landscape' icon in firefox printing dialogues is broken. This icon appears in 'page setup' and 'print preview' and I believe it should show the picture of a person rotated through 90deg anti-clockwise to be correct. Here is an annotated screenshot capturing the offending icon.

UPDATE: it would appear that these icons are provided by GTK, not firefox.
