Description

### Is your feature request related to a problem?

I found, that highlight icons are diverged within certain parts of Firefox.

Firstly, the first variant of the highlighter icon (Proton) is located in the PDF reader:
![Highlishter icon on PDF reader](https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix/assets/69351811/a7094813-c788-41b7-b5eb-52c7959cb5c4)

Then, the second variant of the highlighter icon (Lepton) is located in the Page Source context menu:
![Highlight icon in Page Source menu](https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix/assets/69351811/a9fed930-5e32-4e3e-be17-7229eeb60c0e)

Ditto, but .svg files:

### The solution I'd like

My solution is to use a single highlighter icon for all highlighter buttons & menu items (simply in entire Firefox).

Choose the variant you think it should be. I can't decide since I'm only an issue reporter.

Research direction

Start by locating the two highlighter icon variants shown in the PDF reader and Page Source context menu, then trace where each is used in the Firefox UI customizations. Done means a single chosen highlighter icon is used consistently across all highlighter buttons and menu items.
