On my Windows-11 Laptop, the Vertical-Scroll-Bars in Firefox are too narrow for me to use comfortably. I am struggling with the Touch-Pad, Mouse Pointers, causing the frequently needed act of Scrolling to become a dreaded ordeal? If someone would provide clear and concise instruction on how to make the Vertical-Scroll-Bars the Classic Width of old, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! lg

You can set widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.style => 4 in about:config to get Windows 10 scroll bars.

Oh my goodness! OH MY GOODNESS!! While the following Angels deserve a Steak and Lobster Dinner, I can only afford to Thank Them Profusely and Congratulate them for their stellar assistance to an Earthling who was struggling.

The suffering is GONE... and I should probably be using sun-glasses when I look at those Magnificent, Usable, Bright and Inviting Vertical Scroll Bars! Apparently, you guys/gals rescued me while standing on one foot, blind folded and yawning! My sincere thanks and appreciation for extracting me from the torture chamber. Best regards from a humble rescuee, lg (25Mar2024 23:55 PT)
