"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 pirms 2 mēnešiemUnfortunately, this is a limitation of the Firefox browser. Unlike Chrome, Firefox does not allow complete control over the scrollbar width. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16492086, pirms 2 mēnešiemNot useful. I've been trying for years to get rid of the useless Firefox scrollbar, which I never use, because it is too thin to try and click on it. I thought this add-on would allow me to finally do so. However, as clearly stated by the add-on when you try to change the scrollbar width, this is not allowed by Firefox. You can only change the scrollbar colors, but I don't know why anyone would want to do this
- Rated 1 out of 5by yv, pirms 4 mēnešiemdoes not work for firefox. the only option that worked - is customizing colors. and that is irrelevant, I can do it by myself w/o any extension.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Fonzie!, pirms gadaOn macOS, the settings only apply to the addon page itself and nowhere else. The colours, width and auto-hide are still dictated by the OS or the website, no matter what I set.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Ally, pirms 2 gadiemCustom colours just straight-up didn't work. Not much use in an extension that just lets me change how wide my scroll bar is.

posted pirms 2 gadiemSorry to hear that the add-on wasn't working properly for you.
On some systems, the scrollbar colors may be overridden by the operating system itself. In that case, there is a setting that can be disabled in Firefox to allow the Custom Scrollbars add-on to change the colors. See this for more information: https://github.com/WesleyBranton/Custom-Scrollbar/wiki/Scrollbar-customization-is-not-being-applied - Rated 1 out of 5by YAFU - yet another fox user, pirms 3 gadiemIch suche eine Änderung der Breite, breiter geht nicht...

posted pirms 3 gadiemHallo! Unfortunately, Firefox only offers limited support for scrollbar widths and wide is not currently an option. I'd love to add that option in the future, if it ever becomes available on Firefox. Developer response
posted pirms 3 gadiemSorry to hear the add-on isn't working for you. If you send me and email at addons@wesleybranton.com with a description of the issue, what website(s) is not working and what settings you are using (or a copy of the backup file from the add-on), I'd be happy to take a look.Developer response
posted pirms 3 gadiemCurrently, Firefox has 3 options for scrollbar width: thin, hidden and system default. I'm going to change the label for the wide option because on Firefox the option is whatever your operating system's default scrollbar is.
I'm trying to get the organization in charge of the scrollbar standard (W3C) to add a wide option to Firefox, but it's a long process.Developer response
posted pirms 3 gadiemSorry to hear you are having issues with the add-on. If you send me an email at addons@wesleybranton.com with some more information about the settings you are trying to use and the page(s) you are having problems with, I'd be happy to try and track down the issue for you.
As a side note, there are some pages that the add-on is not allowed to modify. An example would be the Firefox add-ons website. So if the pages you are having problems with are Firefox pages, that could be the issue.
As well, please note that you currently need to refresh your tabs before the changes will appear on the website. That is being addressed in an upcoming update, but for now you need to refresh the tab. If that doesn't work, trying restarting your browser.
Hope that helps, but if not, feel free to reach out to the email address above. Thanks.- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14945218, pirms 3 gadiemI'm desperately trying to find a way to get rid of disappearing scrollbars and make all scrollbars normal with the thing at the top and bottom. I installed this but don't see any way to actually use it. No instructions, right clicking on a disappearing scrollbar does nothing. Just don't see any way for change a scrollbar. Needs instructions on how to use.

posted pirms 3 gadiemWhen the add-on is installed, the settings page should automatically appear. If not, you can try reinstalling it. Alternatively, you can get to the settings by pressing the Firefox menu button, selecting add-ons, picking the Custom Scrollbars add-on and press the options tab.
If you still need help, email me at addons@wesleybranton.com and I'd be happy to help. It sounds like the add-on would be able to solve the problem you are having. Developer response
posted pirms 4 gadiemSorry to hear that! Unfortunately, with the new Facebook design, they've made it impossible for the add-on to customize the scrollbars. Instead of using the standard scrollbars, they have built their own scrollbar system from the ground up so that they can have full control over the appearance of the way the scrollbars look and behave.
