Actually I thought this is a bug and I was about to report it.</P> Wed, 20 Nov 2024 07:13:54 GMT Harri 2024-11-20T07:13:54Z https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/reconsidering-disappearing-scrollbars-for-improved-usability/m-p/28636#M11154 <P>I would like to express my concerns about the disappearing scrollbars implemented in Firefox, which I believe have a negative impact on the user experience. While I understand that design choices are subjective, I feel that the disappearing scrollbars might not be the most user-friendly option for many.</P><P>Here are my main concerns and suggestions:</P><OL><LI><P>Accessibility: Disappearing scrollbars can make it challenging for some users, especially those with motor or vision impairments, to navigate web pages efficiently. A more accessible design would ensure that all users can comfortably use the browser.</P></LI><LI><P>Usability: Many users are accustomed to having a visible scrollbar to help them gauge their position on a page. The disappearing scrollbar can be disorienting and hinder the user experience. A more familiar design with a consistently visible scrollbar can improve usability.</P></LI><LI><P>User Preferences: It's essential to provide users with options to customize their browsing experience. Firefox could include a setting that allows users to choose between disappearing and always-visible scrollbars according to their preferences.</P></LI></OL><P>I kindly request the Firefox developers to consider the above points and evaluate the possibility of reintroducing the traditional, always-visible scrollbars or at least offering an option to choose between the two designs. I believe that doing so would greatly enhance the overall user experience and cater to the diverse needs of Firefox's user base.</P><P>Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to seeing improvements in future updates.</P> Wed, 05 Apr 2023 19:13:19 GMT https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/reconsidering-disappearing-scrollbars-for-improved-usability/m-p/28636#M11154 edgarsi 2023-04-05T19:13:19Z https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/reconsidering-disappearing-scrollbars-for-improved-usability/m-p/28639#M11155 <P>To be clear, the most preferred - always visible scrollbars - should be the default.</P> Wed, 05 Apr 2023 19:16:18 GMT https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/reconsidering-disappearing-scrollbars-for-improved-usability/m-p/28639#M11155 edgarsi 2023-04-05T19:16:18Z https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/reconsidering-disappearing-scrollbars-for-improved-usability/m-p/78817#M30072 <P>metoo.
