Please, please, please give an option to set the width of the scroll bar in Firefox. It's so narrow that about 50% of the time when I try to drag it down, I end up dragging down the whole window. I'm sure it's nice for those who have their smartphone welded to their palm, but some of us still use PCs occasionally, and it's so annoying I usually just use the Page Down key, making the scroll bar pointless. I can't imagine anyone with less than great vision even trying to use Firefox because of this.

The scrollbars taking up space are implemented, and they follow system settings:

  • On Windows 11: Settings > Accessibility > Visual Effects > Always show scrollbars
  • On macOS: System Settings > Appearance > Show scroll bars > Always
  • On Linux: Firefox Settings > Browsing > Always show scrollbars

To make further tweaks you need to get into about:config, but those just follow system settings.

Is it possible to have thiner slide bars in Firefox, like Chrome or Edge. I use Windows 10 and they're very thick!
