Ok, I'll rephrase.

I'm interested but I have no idea how this is different from every
other Firefox build that Fedora provides.  Could you elaborate on the
change some and why it's being made?

Ahh, Okay. The package is build with Gtk3 toolkit [1] (the recent official ones are Gtk2) so it's a regular Gtk3 app which should better fit to Gnome 3 desktop, use themes/skins and so.

The long term plan is to switch Fedora Firefox to Gtk3 so this is just a tech preview. Full of bugs, of course :)

What can do users who doesn't want that gtk3 port?
For some users reasoning that "it works better in gnome-shell" is just not enough.

Do they need to fork it or what?

Thanks for explanation.
