Here is the video of this problem. You can see the scrolling bar can not be rendering correctly.

And this problem only happened on Gmail.com

I try to reset the Firefox, and it works fine on Gmail, but once I sync my addons and plugins back, this problem is back.

Then I try disable all the plugins and addons, this problem is still exists.

If I disable the hardware acceleration in Firefox, the scrolling bar is Okay

I try to run Firefox on Intel Graphic Card and Nvidia Graphic Card, this problem happened on both two graphic cards.
