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 3 out of 5by netcat, 2 days agoThe most important setting is missing for visually impaired persons: Thick and 'Very thick' scrollbars.
Only usability and accessibility count in working environments, especially for impaired users.
Unfortunately Mozilla restricted addon access to Firefox settings.
BUT: You can configure thick scrollbars manually in Firefox, as this tutorial shows. It works perfectly. Just translate the tutorial to your language.

posted 19 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 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13608665, 24 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Andre Bell, 2 months agoHave missed the ability to set my own scrollbar colors. I have issues detecting contrast and certain colors. This makes seeing the scrollbar way easier. So far is working on every site I visit. Easy five stars.

- Rated 1 out of 5by kloassie, 3 months 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!

Very nice indeed when I set it up correctly. - Rated 5 out of 5by Kadircan Ersahin, 3 months ago
