It will likely be as always: GTK2-bugs won't be fixed anymore and with
time GTK2-Firefox/Thunderbird/SeaMonkey will not work properly or even
not build. It will just happen. And some time after that, the build
switch for GTK2 will be removed.

GTK2 is a dead horse. GTK2 with Gecko is even more dead. I wouldn't
waste any time to let it keep breathing. Just choose a decent GTK3-theme
and all your problems will vanish.
