Firefox nonobviousity: Type in about:config in your address bar Search for widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override Edit it to whatever number you want You can also edit widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.style to change the shape of it, set it to 4 for a nice chonk rectangle Finally, turn on “Always show scrollbars” in the normal settings window about:settings if you want them always on.





>"Always show scrollbars” This is missing from my version (140.0.2)

New location is: about:config

layout.testing.overlay-scrollbars.always-visible


Thank you and all the others that told me about different about:config settings! I use this now:

widget.gtk.overlay-scrollbars.enabled = false

layout.css.scrollbar-width-thin.disabled = true

widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.style = 3

widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override = 30
