How can I change the screen scroll bar appearance so that the reading progress bar isn't hidden unless I miraculously click on it?

The reading progress bar within the screen scroll bar is invisible unless I am clicking directly on it. As soon as I release the left-click on my mouse, it vanishes and I have lost my place within the scroll bar causing me to scroll to parts of the screen other than where I want to.

Does this happen only on specific websites or all of them?

You can try the following to prevent websites from overriding the standard Windows scrollbars:

  1. Type about:config in the Firefox address bar
  2. Bypass the security warning
  3. Change layout.css.scrollbar-color.enabled to false
  4. Change layout.css.scrollbar-width.enabled to false
  5. Restart Firefox

Hope this helps.
