greets!
don't know if it's related to Stretch - I recently upgraded from Jessie (now
somewhat to my regret) - but I did an update of Firefox via the Mozilla
online update.
subsequently (and as an effect?) Firefox lost vertical scrollbars. I tried
various things with the themes (unsystematically) and now have a circumstance
where I get:
"GTK+ 2.x symbols detected. Using GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process is
not supported"
when I try to start Firefox, Pan and Google-Chrome-Stable. online googling
has so far yielded nothing useful.
things got worse, e.g. turned out FF and Chrome were unresponsive;
eventually I got worried I might have to re-install to recover sanity,
which itself would be crazy.
I removed some of gtk3 (removed gtk3-tqt-engine-trinity,
gtk2-engines-oxygen and I believe libgtk-3-bin), settled on Redmond,
uninstalled google-chrome-stable (which I subsequently reinstalled).
results of (some elements of) this are:
chrome, pan, FF fully functional
problem with menu items in OpenOffice disappearing is
solved.
there are exotic error messages when I start some things in a terminal
which I may try to track down during my next bout of procrastination.
