And https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=958868 indicates that it has true smooth scrolling. That is, in my opinion, the poster feature for upgrading to GTK+ 3.
It does. The GTK3 version of Firefox already shipped with Fedora 21 (last December), and has been scrolling very smoothly ever since.
Great! A lot of improvements depend on this GTK3 switch (like using Azure with Skia) and it took quite a while. I'd still prefer Firefox to use Qt 5 instead, but whatever. Shumway however is still far from finished, and I'm not sure what will happen with plugins which depend on GTK2.
the plugin-container process still links to gtk2 afaik
Anyone from Mozilla aware of the status of the Qt Firefox port? I remember seeing progress on Github and I was really excited for a while, but it seems to have completely disappeared. Right now the Qt world doesn't have an acceptable browser, which is incredibly annoying for us since we're targeting Qt-based desktop environments. I'm hoping the move to GTK3 at the very least helps towards that.
The problem is that I am unable to find any compact gtk-3 theme that looks like xfce-b5 theme for gtk-2. Xfce theming engine seems to be broken under gtk>=3.8. The only possibility is to recreate theme from scratch and pray that nothing would be broken when minor bumps again. Hell, I am unable to find any theme compact enough!
Could somebody please help me to rule out: do most people really like that ugly-looking space-wasting bullshit like Adwaita (and other such nonsensical things mistakenly called "themes"), or is there some mysterious underground group guarding the treasure chest with human-friendly themes allowing only deserved ones in (how to become that one, btw?)?
Its like being forced to leave my simple but consistent country house (gtk2) in favour of tall block building (gtk3), using the lift (smooth scrolling) as an argument. I don't need lift.
tldr; Firefox won't be able to compactify its UI to the degree desired. Some users could clearly identify such situation as "regression". I am pretty much disappointed and annoyed of the trend.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's a real shame chrome moved away from GTK. Aura is probably fine for many use cases but it does weird stuff on multi-monitor setups (drawing artifacts and windows jumping around).
Aura really doesn't like my xmonad setup. Chrome doesn't like it at all either. If I lose focus of the chrome window due to a Panel coming up (undocked window), chrome won't regain focus and I can't type anywhere and I have to SIGTERM it to make it work again. quite annoying.
Not sure if that'll help you with your specific program, but it might.

You should check out Otter browser ( http://otter-browser.org/ ). It's FOSS, an Opera 12 clone and uses Qt5. Despite it still being in a beta with known bugs it's under active development and quite usable in its current state.
Disasterous :( For me, it has begun from evince and deadbeef, now firefox is on its way to follow.

Ubuntu (mainly phone, coming soon to desktop) has these:

It's based on Chromium/Blink.
And Qt itself switched from QtWebkit to Chromium with QtWebEngine - https://wiki.qt.io/QtWebEngine
