Firefox and Thunderbird use Mozilla's gui toolkit - there were Fedora  
developers (if I recall) who submitted patches to use gtk2+ but they  
were turned down by mozilla upstream - Fedora can't include them anyway  
and still call the browser Firefox.

With respect to jEdit - that uses Java's gui toolkit, and an  
application not distributed by Fedora, so a request for it to use the  
gtk2+ toolkit needs to go with whoever your JRE vendor is.
