Indeed, I can confirm the firefox seem to use engine rendered tooltips.
WebKit based browsers (I've tested midori and chromium) use the
refreshed ones.

Maybe firefox bypases gtk and calls the engine functions itself for
tooltips -- after all, it just emulates gtk...

Right, I forgot that. Well, if it's all down to Firefox's weirdness I
guess there's not much to do about it...

Both firefox and OpenOffice have their own tooltip implementations and
just use GTK+ theme colors. I have hope to get that fixed at least for
OpenOffice.

They both (well I only checked OOo, but FF is pretty much the same
thing) basically call...

gtk_paint_flat_box( GtkTooltipWidget->style,
target_drawable,
GTK_STATE_NORMAL,
GTK_SHADOW_OUT,
&clipRect,
GtkTooltipWidget,
"tooltip",
x, y, w, h );

(see vcl/unx/gtk/gdi/salnativewidgets-gtk.cxx)

to ask gtk to render the tooltip widget (as it does for the other
widgets), but the new tooltip sniffyness is in gtk's
gtk_tooltip_paint_window, a level above the gtk_paint_flat_box so its
unavailable to OOo/FF. I don't see a straightforward fix.
