You would whether Firefox used GTK+2 or GTK+3.
and to be specific, firefox has used gtk2 for ages
Currently I use a lot of hacks to get proper file selection dialogs in Firefox, as the GTK dialogs are just horrible to use.
Disasterous :( For me, it has begun from evince and deadbeef, now firefox is on its way to follow. 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…
I was prepared to whine about exactly that. There is literally no gtk3 theme that, simultaneously: - Is not flat and generally grey or dark blue. It's as if everyone Apple fanboy who was rejected by Apple's UX department is now making GTK themes. - Is not frickin' ginormous. I know multitasking is frowned upon now that we have tablets, but I have a bloody 27" screen, I want more than one window on it at the same time…
My current choice is openSuse-Pistachio which is green, reasonably compact, and did not break for two consecutive Ubuntu releases. zonColor icons work beautifully, too, with adjustable colors.
There are a few more reasonable choices (though not oodles) on gnome-look.org

P.S. and let's not forget that Gtk3 really really wants to draw its own titlebars and do its own window management.

Or most of them probably just gave up making GTK themes.

"oh no" that Firefox is dropping support for a slightly older technology (again)? "oh no" that GTK2 is a sinking ship that everyone is fleeing from? or do you mean "oh no" that Firefox is going to be at the center of yet another incendiary (and ultimately fruitless) debate. Because I can agree that any one of those is a good reason to say "oh no".
I've been out of the gtk loop for a while now—I built a couple apps on gtk2 back in the day. What is wrong with gtk3? Why would this be controversial at all?

People seem to like it. Personally I don't, but... yeah. Gtk3 devs have outright said that gtk3 is not officially supported in any environment but GNOME3, which also worries me. On the other hand, this may be enough stimulus to make QtFirefox happen.

Firefox smooth scrolling tears on every Linux machine I've used lately. Different distros, different video devices abd drivers, different compositing managers, etc. If I disable it, either the tearing is gone or the issue is difficult to see, I'm not sure. If this fixes that, that'll make me quite happy. [edit] Oh, reading that thread, it sure does sound promising. I'll have to check it out.
I’ve always used its “smooth scrolling” feature, and I do not recall ever encountering any issues with it at all, save possibly one which has been happening for what is probably almost a year and which I still haven’t reported: monospaced code blocks with horizontal scrolling don’t draw the newly exposed regions properly as you scroll horizontally (of course, selecting the text fixes that, but it’s still a nuisance).…

I would like to see a screenshot of that xfce-b5 theme and what you want to achieve. For reference, this is how Firefox/Iceweasel looks in my system, running GNOME Shell: https://i.imgur.com/VedZNiC.png I didn't crop it: that is all that is visible when maximised. I'm using tree-style-tabs for Firefox, and the Hide Top Bar and Maximus Two extensions for the Shell.
https://i.imgur.com/wYVyJG5.png Most gtk2-based (or dependent, in case of eclipse) apps I use at daily basis (incl. floating deadbeef settings window with older gtk2 plugin) side-by-side. I haven't included evince (gtk3) as I am using partially broken gtk3-Mist theme (not compact as xfce-b5, but still better than Adwaita). Nothing scaled, cropped or such. Btw, I use Classic Theme Restorer plugin, which also helps wit…
