The CentOS Project "only" recompiles the packages from the sources
provided by Red Hat, so we're the least likely to be able to help. Bugs
are only fixed when Red Hat implements and publishes a fix.

Firefox, Chromium, Atom, LibreOffice are all cross-platform
applications, not Gnome ones. It's up to them if and to what extent
they implement Gnome support, obey Gnome settings, etc. Some distros
patch such applications in the past to make them better behaved
citizens; sometimes the upstream authors improve support for Linux
desktop environments, but it's seldom very high on their priority list.
I think your best chance is to file bug reports upstream, for each
affected application.
