Reviews for Custom Scrollbars
Custom Scrollbars by Wesley Branton
Review by Fixtman
Rated 3 out of 5
by Fixtman, 3 years agoUnfortunately, all I wanted it for was to change the width of the scrollbar, which it doesn't do. There currently isn't an extension that does that for FF89. Yes, I changed the colors, but of COURSE they don't work on THIS page...
The instructions to change width yourself (at least on Linux) are at: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/mozilla-firefox-89-0-x86_64-1-no-longer-applying-scrollbar-width-from-%27gtk-css%27-4175695877/
A couple simple about:config entries.

posted 3 years agoUnfortunately, Firefox currently has very limited support for adjusting scrollbar widths. I'd love to expand the options available for that when more options are added to Firefox.
As for customizing this page, that's a restriction Firefox has for all add-ons. There are some protected pages (such as internal browser settings pages or Mozilla-owned pages), which add-ons are not allowed to edit. The intention is to prevent add-ons from injecting false or dangerous information on the pages, but it also means that the Custom Scrollbars add-on can't modify the scrollbars on this page.

- Rated 1 out of 5by kloassie, 9 days agoScrollbars are getting thinner and thinner and thinner on all platforms and OS's. Why I don't know but I want my thick scrollbars back again, scrollbars I don't need a microscope and a pincet for to grab and scroll. So I installed this extension, bc it said it'd allow me to to customise to MY liking. Turns out with this extension I can make the scrollbars . e.v.e.n . t.h.i.n.n.e.r . but not thicker!!! Yay, I guess? What the actual frog!

posted 9 days agoUnfortunately, this is a limitation of Firefox. It does not allow the extension to fully customize the width. I've requested this feature many times, but they refuse to add it. If they ever do, I would be happy to add it to the extension. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18085493, 19 days agoA little tricky to set up.
Very nice indeed when I set it up correctly. - Rated 5 out of 5by Kadircan Ersahin, 23 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18272826, 3 months agoOne star beacause this is useless and for the highly misleading introduction:
"Get the mouse scrollbar you've always wanted—specify width and color."
Yeah. You can can specify the width, NONE OR THIN. And that does not even work. Whooohou.Developer response
posted 3 months agoUnfortunately, this is a limitation of the Firefox browser. Unlike Chrome, Firefox does not allow complete control over the scrollbar width. - Rated 5 out of 5by Nath'Anubis Geek, 3 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Freeroamer696, 3 months agoWorks well enough. Good for completing custom themes, gets rid of the ugly grey scroll bar. Will not work on every website, but most.
