Between 3.10 and 3.14 there are bugs in the drag and drop code in Gtk3
that make Firefox (for Gtk3) unusable.

See upstream
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728183

This was why I actually suggested bumping to 3.14.

Also Gtk3 API story and deprecations is quite.... (I don't have a polite
word that is appropriate) "interesting":
They deprecated API created in early 3.x to replace with API from later.
So you get deprecation notice (there for possibly more bugs) despite the
claim of API stability. And the theme support broke on a very regular basis.

This would (IMHO) help the developers as well.

That's just my 2¢.
