How can I make the vertical and horizontal scrollbars wider? They're too narrow/thin.

Thank you!

Ubuntu 10.04; Firefox 3.6.3-Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0. [Firefox version included in Ubuntu 10.04 installation.]

Try the Ubuntu forum for help with that. http://ubuntuforums.org/

Canonical added an extension that greatly modifies Firefox in the versions that come with Ubuntu, so suggestions for the official version of Firefox may not work.
