I'm well aware of the efforts going on to port firefox to GTK3.
Nevertheless, this port won't get us much, because Firefox will still look alien to the rest of the desktop

What elements of firefox are you referring to here that would "look alien to the rest of the desktop"?

The work that the GNOME integration team does on the theme[1] and the theme tweaker extension[2] gets FIrefox (GTK2 version) looking pretty close to most default gnome apps, not perfectly integrated, but definitely not "alien", IMHO.

Talking about default firefox, not firefox with 3rd party modifications.
Last time we discussed shipping this theme by default the consensuses was that we shouldn't due to the points I raised before.

Note that shipping this theme by default is not as easy as packaging it and adding it to comps, Firefox will need to be patched to load it if it's installed and load the default Firefox theme if it is not.
