Bug#842952: firefox: Things that are still bad with GTK+3 enabled

Package: firefox
Version: 49.0-5
Severity: normal
Some things I've noticed going from 49.0-4 to 49.0-5 that I'm inferring are
related to turning on GTK+3:
1) Parts of the UI have gained ugly heavy black borders. This seems to be
fixed upstream for a future release:
https://bug98304.bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1266914
2) The address bar is intermittently non-functional: I can type in it, but
hitting enter or the "go" button does nothing. I did some searching to see
if this was a known issue, but mostly only found old / windows-specific
issues. Workaround: press ESC to clear the address bar and start over.
Also, not related to the GTK+3, but the symbolic icon is terrible IMO:
Instead of a recognizable colorful icon, I instead get an unrecognizable
circle half the size of any of the other app icons that show in the top bar
in Gnome. I guess if the symbolic icon was properly sized it would be
better, but having it render so much smaller makes it just a generic round
blob with nothing discernably "firefox" about it. For example, the symbolic
icon for gnome-terminal is square-ish, and taller/wider than the height of
the capital "T". The firefox symbolic icon however is smaller than the
capital "F", and only marginally larger than the lower-case "o".
