Created attachment 429786 [details] Screenshot of this bug report in firefox-45.0.1 exhibiting the bug. I have experienced this too. I'm using the gnome overlay. I even tried upgrading to gtk+-3.20.2 and it has not solved the problem for me. I have an arch linux system with gnome 3.20 and it does not have this problem. Interestingly, I don't see this problem in thunderbird 38.7.1 on my gentoo system so it may be some kind of build/patch problem with firefox.
Not seeing a gtk3 issue in firefox on other distros makes sense, as firefox-45 isn't built using the cairo-gtk3 toolkit anywhere but on gentoo with USE=gtk3 right now -- rather, they all follow the upstream advice which until firefox-46 is to use cairo-gtk2. Similarly, thunderbird also uses gtk2 and will continue to do so until thunderbird-52.x (or whatever version after 45.x) is released. Firefox upstream as of right now doesn't have full gtk+-3.20 support, according to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1234158 ; once the relevant patches land upstream I'll make sure firefox-46 contains them. Gnome team, is there a way to use gtk+-3.20 or newer in some sort of compatibility mode? Or is the only way to handle this on ~arch until firefox contains appropriate support, to use an upper bound on the gtk3?

It turns out Arch Linux has also added the 3.20 patch from Firefox bug #1234158 so that's why things work over there: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/firefox&id=871dcc666f49d31c1060f00472fc85f2a0e722a3
fedora uses the same patch with success. from where have you taken the gtk+-3.20 ebuild?
(In reply to tt_1 from comment #5) > fedora uses the same patch with success. from where have you taken the > gtk+-3.20 ebuild? It's in the gnome overlay.
I am started using the Gnome overlay (don't know if this is related, if it is, you are informed). I realized today that my Firefox 46.0 does not show scrollbars, checkboxes etc. Google pointed me to this site: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/4d6wt1/firefox_on_linux_doesnt_show_scroll_bar_handles/ I tried to visit the linked mozilla bugzilla, but it seems to be in maintain mode or something similar at the moment. So I have not been able to link the related bug report there. I placed the linked patch (https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/plain/trunk/firefox-gtk3-20.patch?h=packages/firefox) of the Arch Linux Firefox package in /etc/portage/patches/www-client/firefox-46.0/firefox-gtk3-20.patch and recompiled Firefox. This seems to improve the situation. Scrollbars and checkboxes are now shown better. What do you think about adding the patch to the official portage tree? Or do you think it could break other stuff?
Is this still happening with gtk+-3.20.6 and a newer firefox? (per upstream mozilla report, it should be solved in their side finally)
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #8) > Is this still happening with gtk+-3.20.6 and a newer firefox? (per upstream > mozilla report, it should be solved in their side finally) With most recent gtk+ (3.20.2, gnome overlay) and firefox (47.0) available in Gentoo I still see those issues. I would like to test gtk+-3.20.6 but I can't see it yet ;)
Thx for updating gtk to 3.20.6! Unfortunately it doesn't fix the issue for me. So we probably need to wait for a firefox-update.
(In reply to Franz Fellner from comment #10) > Thx for updating gtk to 3.20.6! Unfortunately it doesn't fix the issue for > me. So we probably need to wait for a firefox-update. Correct -- the patch landed on firefox-48, which will be released in a couple of weeks.
@mozilla, feel free to handle it in firefox side I am not sure if simply waiting for firefox-48 will be enough... or patching an older version for stabilization purposes :/ Is stable release firefox affected by this? In that case I would opt for either applying the patches used in other distributions or default to gtk2 again :S
Not yet fixed upstream in www-client/firefox-bin-48.0_beta3 . Where is the upstream patch? Or is it in a Gentoo overlay? I also noticed after the gnome and gtk* updates today changes in the fonts in firefox.
That is strange. The bug should be fixed in beta: https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-beta/rev/cb42beedc07e "add support for GTK 3.20 scrollbars r=karlt a=lizzard" Upstream bug (marked as fixed): https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1234158 btw, I see no button in the background of "Save Changes" on this site here.
I also noticed, there are no background highlight bars when I go through the menu of firefox.
I can't use ALT+TAB while holding a website element with the mouse to drag and drop it to another program. www-client/firefox-bin-47.0 and www-client/firefox-bin-48.0_beta3
This is the (big) gtk+-3.20 patch applied in Fedora, maybe it will help people (but it is for 47.x versions) http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/firefox.git/plain/firefox-gtk3-20.patch

Except the broken scrollbars, I noticed that my firefox decorations (titlebar, dialog boxes etc.) don't reflect my GTK+ theme (Adwaita, global dark) anymore since gtk+-3.20. Is this related?

Not yet fixed upstream in www-client/firefox-bin-48.0_beta6 And not fixed in nightly. Same messages in the session log or in terminal when started from there.
OK, it works. But only if you don't choose the breeze themes for gtk3. Adwaita for example works as expected. ================================================================= Package Settings ================================================================= kde-plasma/breeze-9999::kde was built with the following: USE="-debug -qt4" ABI_X86="64" kde-frameworks/breeze-icons-9999::kde was built with the following: USE="-test" ABI_X86="64" kde-plasma/breeze-gtk-9999::kde was built with the following: USE="-debug" ABI_X86="64" Last emerged on 2nd July.

I don't think adding comments here about each new issue with gtk3 and firefox nightlies will help much, specially if your setup is not running Adwaita (that is probably what upstream people is testing). If you are still hitting issues with latest beta, open a bug in upstream side and paste the link here to let us track the issue Regarding the non-bin versions, I don't know what are the plans for keeping -47 version long time here (as I don't think it's a candidate to be stabilized), but using Fedora patch would be the way to go I think. Regarding -bin packages, please try to report to upstream to ensure -48 is fixed

I am in the works of trying to apply the gtk3.20 changes to firefox-48beta now but its slow going as a lot of code has changed (c -> c++). I do very much want this to be fixed in 48.0 upon release. For 45.x I will be removing gtk3 support prior to gtk3.20 going stable, since gtk3 support did not become upstream default until 46.0 Unfortunately I can't speak for the upstream-built binaries; it looks like they will not be fixed for sure until firefox-49.
Thanks for your efforts :)
This issue came up on my ~amd64 system after a recent world update with firefox-bin 47... couldn't get the patch posted earlier to work, and I have nothing that depends on x11-libs/gtk+-3.20.6 specifically, so I decided to mask this version locally for now. Came here to see if it was already reported and as expected people are working on it. Thank you so much for your efforts :)

The firefox-bin package installs the binary package released by upstream, so there is no chance to get the patch applied or even working ;)
Firefox-48.0-beta10 is available on mozilla overlay; if someone could emerge this and see if the GTK3 issues have been resolved, that would be very much appreciated!

i can confirm that scrollbars and some checkboxes are being rendered properly again in firefox-48.0-beta10 and gtk-3.20.6. Text seems to have become bigger though e.g. text fields "Personal Tags" and "CC List Add" are too huge and e.g. the dragger of this comment box isn't properly aligned either. But it's an improvement to firefox-47 and probably should be handled in another bug.

So what do people think -- when firefox-48 is released should we consider the bug to be closed (and unblock gtk-3.20) despite a few strange rendering issues with in-page content (which can go to a new bug), or are these issues still important enough to block gtk-3.20 ?

Hmm complicated. it seems gtk-3.20 will cause trouble for many users anyway googling / reading https://igurublog.wordpress.com/2016/04/20/heads-up-gtk-3-20-off-to-a-troubled-start/ firefox and thunderbird might be the most visible ones besides all the broken theme issues. I wouldn't want to introduce that into stable. I'm even thinking about masking it. What a mess.

Despite minor glitches, firefox-48 with gtk-3.20 is usable for me.
Personally I would close this one and report the remaining issues as individual bugs for firefox-48 (probably also reporting to upstream to let them know the issues)
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #40) > Personally I would close this one and report the remaining issues as > individual bugs for firefox-48 (probably also reporting to upstream to let > them know the issues) I concurr. Marking RESO/WONTFIX as gtk+-3.20 and above support will be for firefox-48 and above; anything older will be pegged to gtk2.
Created attachment 450202 [details] firefox-bin-49.0 using gtk+ 3.18.9 (ok) vs. 3.20.9 (black outlines) Using firefox-bin-49, I still downgrade gtk+ to 3.18. Although it's no longer outright broken (scrollbars) it looks horrible. There are full black outlines for everything (url bars, menus, ...) that should be soft grays. (Attached gif shows same version of firefox, with gtk+ 3.18.9 vs. 3.20.9) Not sure how many people realize this is a bug... since it could also be a poor design choice. ArchLinux has the same issue.

A significant portion of these issues are due to the theme itself that you're using not being fully compliant with gtk+-3.20 -- I had to bump my own theme (x11-themes/greybird) before things were even close to being OK. I highly recommend you ensure gtk+-3.20 compliance and/or look for new themes that are just plain better under this newer gtk (for instance the adwaita default theme is pretty nasty imo, and not just on firefox). Also FYI, many the gtk+ fixes have landed on firefox-50 which is in beta on mozilla-overlay.
