Hello,

Since Firefox 87, the “Highlight All” feature on Find in Page now displays tick marks alongside your scrollbar that correspond to the location of matches found on that page. Source: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/87.0/releasenotes/ So when I press Ctrl+F to find something then I check "Highlight All", I see the results in the scrollbar. I don't want to see these tick marks alongside my scrollbar. I prefer the old behavior.

How to go back to the old behavior please?

Thank you. Best regards.

I am not getting tick marks when I use "Highlight All" and I don't see a reference to such a 'feature' on that release notes page. Trying it in troubleshoot mode may help. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems

Maybe you are not using the same version of Firefox than me. Here is a screenshot showing the problem: https://i.imgur.com/PlQovhw.png

OK, sorry, I do see it on the release notes page but it has never appeared here. I am presently using Firefox 91.0. I previously had css code for the scrollbars and I am still using that for scrollbar colours. Firefox 89 introduced some about:config preferences for the scrollbars.

I am happy to know that this problem is eventually fixed in 91.0 and 89 but currently I have to stay with 88.0.1 because versions after this one are slow at the first startup. During 1 minute I can't use my web browser. So, I prefer to stay on 88.0.1 for the moment and try to find how to disable this scrollbar feature.
