Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

The efforts to make Firefox look like a normal GTK app are laudable. There is something that could be improved about it, though. the arrows in the back / forward buttons don't look like they should, neither do the buttons themselves when you hover the mouse over them.

Please see the attached screenshots.

This is how a normal GTK app (epiphany) looks when the back button is hovered over.

This is, however, how Firefox looks when the arrow near the back button is hovered over. Notice how the button itself looks weird, and the arrow is not the one set by the GTK theme.

Is this a standard gtk+ widget at all?

(If not, then its likely just a custom composite widget that epiphany invented. Doing something different in firefox then isn't a break gtk'ism.)

Try the new version of ff3, they seemed to have fixed this.

By new version I mean nightly builds.

Thanks. Arrow signs that don't follow the default theme are still used in some places, though. Not very important, of course.
