1. Go to Tools | Options | General tab

In the Web Browser combo box, it would be useful to show browser icons as we currently do for the browser switcher in the toolbar and project properties of web projects. I.e., if you create a web-related project (HTML5 project, PHP project, Ant-based Java web project or Maven-based Java web project), you see the browser switcher shows the icon for the browser that is selected for this project. This switcher with icon is also replicated in project properties of all these projects.

Showing the icon also in Tools | Options would make these two pieces of UI consistent.

Technically this may not be straightforward. Theofanis, there are two APIs for for dealing with browsers. Old openide one (org.openide.awt.HtmlBrowser.*) and new one which was introduced as part of project Easel (web.browser.api). And unfortunately the icons used by Browser Switcher are defined in newer API.
