Glad I read before posting, cause I was essentially going to say the
same thing.  I see the value in using a Gnome theme for Firefox, but I
really prefer the original theme, and I don't know how to get it back,
as it doesn't seem to be available from mozilla.  What I would propose
instead of changing what theme default is, is to leave default as the
default Firefox skin, but include the Gnome theme in the deb and have
the config file installed point to it as the theme to use upon
install.  If this is possible, it would let the browser match by
default, but would allow people to easily switch to the default skin
is that is what they are used to or prefer.

Also, could some work at least be put into making the Gnome theme
scale better?  I like to Use Small Icons (from the Customize Toolbar
options) and the icons just don't look very good unless they are at
full size.  The firefox defaults used to be the same way, but in the
last few months they were improved so they look much better when
scaled down.
