Scrollbar arrows missing on Ubuntu KDE desktop

I changed a global setting in the KDE Breeze theme to always show scrollbar arrows. It works in most windows but not in Firefox, which refuses to display them. Is there a way to fix this? It is a major accessibility problem.

You can check widget.non-native-theme prefs in about:config.

  • widget.non-native-theme.gtk.scrollbar.allow-buttons

I toggled it from false to true, but that doesn't seem to have changed anything. I'm beginning to suspect some genius developer with gtk decided we don't need them.

What theme? Can you show the issue? I'm not having issues in KDE5 nor 6. What version are you running?

Hardware Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Yoga gen 6 8x 11th gen Intel Core i7-1165G7 2.8 GHz Memory 31.1 GB Graphics processor Mesa Intel Xe graphics

Attached are two images, one Firefox sans scroll buttons and one Dolphin with scroll buttons.

It's very weird.
