Firefox's use of gtk3 actually still requires gtk2, so gtk2 won't be deprecated (at least not any time soon). Also, FYI, since gtk2 will (for the forseeable future) always be required by the firefox core, we are going to add a gtk3 flag to provide end-user control of building the frontend against gtk3 or not. I don't think deprecation of gtk2 is anything we are going to need to worry about any time soon. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iF4EAREIAAYFAlXwUQcACgkQAJxUfCtlWe1r4QEAwJ4VQLTQhHe9Mx6DocDtkk0k TXYlocHSXPqrb907jx8BANABAaCToAOPnKchenrMLJxQFh0euC1Ku0ki8H9TwJtu =p0Fr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
