Hello: The scrollbars' properties (color, background color, width) are really important things in scrollable windows, normally they are controlled by the window theme. I've recently installed firefox 91.2.0esr and its scroll bars are not like the used theme's scrollbar. They are hard to see, changing color depending on visited site and so thin that it is hard to move the cursor over them. I guess this is a new firefox "improvement", because the previous firefox esr (78) uses the theme's scrollbar. Is there a way to make firefox use the theme defined scrollbars? Thanks, Istvan

The first time after updating to firefox 91.2 in Leap 15.2, it asked what theme to use. One of the options was to follow the system theme, which I selected. You probably did not. I don't know where to change this again. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)

I am still fighting this. Can you please check if the following pages show your theme's native scrollbar or their own scrollbar style? https://telex.hu/ https://index.hu/ https://www.youtube.com/ Thanks, Istvan

A thinner scrollbar.
Thick scrollbar, seems the same as the terminal, but the slider is darker.
Just a bit thinner, and darker slider. They all seem to do some customization. I can take photos if you wish to compare, mail them privately or upload to susepaste. I am using XFCE for desktop. -- Saludos/Cheers Carlos E. R.

Thank you Carlos. In the meantime I found a solution based on this thread: layout.css.scrollbar-width.enabled not working https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1297345 The steps: 1. in about:config set: widget.non-native-theme.enabled false 2. in about:config set: widget.content.gtk-theme-override <used-gtk3-theme-name> (eg: Adwaita) 3. in about:config set: toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets true 4. Make a userContent.css file (not userChrome.css file) in the <profile-dir>/chrome dir Add this to the userContent.css file: *{ scrollbar-color: auto !important; scrollbar-width: auto !important; } Now all websites have the native gtk theme's scrollbar without overriding its style. This works for me in firefox 91esr and firefox 94.0. Thanks again, Istvan

A while back I had this happen and drilled down and found that I needed to put values in ~/.gtlrc-2.0 gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=0 gtk-toolbar-style=2 gtk-menu-images=1 gtk-button-images=1 I can't remember the mozilla help file that came from or what it meant.
Thanks,
Istvan
