Scrollbar Buttons in Firefox
Posted: Sun Nov 19, 2023 10:14 am
The scrollbar in Firefox has been broken for Linux desktop users for a very long time. By default, the scrollbar is the size of a toothpick and a nightmare to grab on large screens without clicking something else.
You can make the scrollbar *slightly* wider by going into the settings and enabling "always show scrollbars", but that just makes it two toothpicks wide instead of one.
If you go into the about:config menu and search for "widget.n", you'll get a small selection of non-native theme settings.
Will override the width of the scrollbar. Changing it to 12-16 gives a scrollbar of a decent size to work with on large monitors.
Set this to 2 to use GTK themes, which will tell Firefox to use your currently selected system theme. Your theme needs to support GTK3 or you may encounter strange behavior.
This is my favorite, it enables the scrollbar arrows. You'll need a GTK theme which also has the scrollbar arrows, which are getting scarce these days. My Radiance-Fedora theme supports this and should show scrollbar arrows.
