Please allow me to preface with I do not know how to code at all and I have found some options to make the scroll bar disappear, but with coding, and I'm hoping for an option that takes that away easily.

I don't think it is any of my extensions causing this, and I don't think it's an option in Firefox to remove the scroll bar.

Please help if possible! It doesn't disappear even when I'm watching videos on fullscreen.

Thank you.

What are your scroll bar settings in the Mac OS ? On Mac the scroll bars can be hidden and only have them show when you scroll the page so you can see the current scroll position.

  • System Preferences -> General -> Show Scroll Bar

I'm not seeing special widget.non-native-theme.* prefs for Mac on the about:config page.
