Ha, I was just thinking about this on Friday. But one thing gives me pause: If this is an appropriate place to use symbolic Back and Forward icons, when would ever be an appropriate place to use the non-symbolic Back and Forward icons? It's reasonable to have an icon for which there would never be occasion to use a symbolic variant. But to have a symbolic icon for which you'd never use the non-symbolic original seems like the icon equivalent of a code smell.
I suppose you could say that the Back and Forward icons should be monochrome in USC in particular, because the other icons in the navigation bar are. That would be a valid reason, though not a strong one. They're different kinds of buttons, so it's visually understandable that they'd use different styles of icon. An alternative solution might be for even the non-symbolic Back and Forward icons to be monochrome (with mono-dark providing a ~white one, mono-light providing a ~black one). Those particular icons are highly obvious from their shape, and their current color doesn't imbue any more meaning to them. (If they were being meaningfully colored, they would be green, not orange.) In other words, not only should Back and Forward icons be ~white in USC in Ambiance, they should automatically be ~white in Firefox in Ambiance too.
