In Firefox 59, a style rule in the page is suppressing the scroll bar, so probably it's the same in Developer Edition.

I don't know why there are different results in different browsers; possibly Google sends slightly different rules. ??

This custom style rule will strip off the problem rule:

#guide-inner-content.ytd-app {
  overflow-y: unset !important;
}

If you like, you can test in the Dev Tools "Style Editor" (it should work in any style sheet that isn't limited to non-screen media).

In order to apply that to YouTube, the easiest method is:

(1) Install the Stylus extension:

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/styl-us/

If you already have Stylish, you don't need Stylus. If you have Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey, you could try those for step #2.

(2) Then install this user style:

YouTube Left Column Scrollable (March 2018)

Stylus or Stylish: click the blue "Install Syle" button. Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey: scroll down and look for "Install style as userscript".

Screenshot comparison attached.

Note: Stylus and Stylish do not work in automatic private browsing mode. If you have Firefox set to "Never Remember History" you could use a userContent.css file for this fix.
