Why didn't they replace all GTK with Qt and proposed to upstream it? That would have been really good.



That was done several times before, but Mozilla rejected such proposals.

Even if that means Firefox breaks every few weeks due to a new GTK release.

Even if that means Firefox never will properly support multi-monitor HiDPI on Linux (and not at all on X11).


Did they provide any reason, or those who make decisions there have some irrational bias and prefer GTK?

I can see why it can be harder to bind to Qt from Rust, but this is now a solved problem I think:
