Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 uses gtk2 in firefox 52.8esr,
but I see from
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1278282
that Firefox 59 dropped the option to build with gtk2.
In https://access.redhat.com/announcements/3365141
Red Hat talk about plugins and addons with FF60 in RHEL6,
which suggests that they either aren't aware of the gtk2 issue
or have it under control (two very different possibilities).
I believe Red Hat are fully aware :-)
... as they agreed to dropping gtk2 build support - that BZ has the
statement (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1278282#c3):
"Red Hat can go along with the gtk3 only Firefox when it comes in next
ESR cycle (FF59)."
However, I would also like to know how they plan to support FF60 in el6 ...
We're going to ship gtk3 (on some form) for Firefox60 on RHEL6. That
does not mean gtk3 will be generally available on RHEL6 (AFAIK).
ma.
