GTK3 Version Of Firefox Up For Fedora Testing

[ua=42]

I didn't realize this, but looking at the packages it seems to be the case. Is there a reason for this?

I think I heard that officially the gtk devs have said that gtk is for gnome and that they don't support stable interfaces for programs, themes, etc that other stuff might use. I could be remembering stuff wrong though.

GTK libraries do not version symbols

Hmm, will this finally solve the issue of using dark desktop themes with Firefox (where input boxes become unreadable etc.)?

Can we please talk about how bullshit this is? I love Mozilla and Firefox but it's not like there's a million lines of GTK code in there; what the hell constitutes 3 years of porting?

Also a good question: what does plugin-container have to do with GTK? Rather, what does NPAPI have to do with GTK that it cannot be built without linking to GTK2?
(at least that's what I've gotten from a brief look at the bug linked in the article)
