-Finally recongnize that Linux is not just GTK+ and Gnome. There was a Qt4 port merged to mozilla and it was more or less working and would need just some final polish and attention. With every next Firefox release we get more and more Gnome HIG stuff ... For example I do want to have Tools>Options instead of Gnomes Edit>Preferences. That's just not possible. The gtk+ file chooser is also horrible and the Cancel/OK scheme is not what KDE does.

 If maintaining 2 toolkits on Linux is not possible then just switch to Qt4 as this toolkit integrates nicely in both Gnome and KDE4. It also does the same nice integration on MacOSX and Windows so with it there could be actually just one toolkit for all platforms which would save development resources.
