Since I'm using the Fedora version, the best person to answer this question  
would be whoever packages Firefox. I'm too lazy to look at the patches in  
the srpm.

Having absolutely zero knowledge of that, my semi-educated guess would be  
that Mozilla's nightly build targets GTK2, while the Fedora Firefox package  
targets GTK3.

Which would be the right decision for Fedora, without doubt. Presuming that  
this is the case, the problem is not that Firefox is targetting GTK3 in  
Fedora. The real problem is that Gnome has jumped the shark.
