    What I hate is how in Firefox in Linux I only have these tiny “slim” scrollbars that hide when not in use.

      I didn’t notice much since generally don’t have the arrow buttons and I wouldn’t use them. I use arrow keys, pagination keys, home/end key, scroll wheel/motion, drag the bar or click somewhere to jump there. Those buttons were always quite tiny.

      But the behavior of my scrollbar looks like this: slides in on use or when the mouse gets moved; gets fatter when hovered

      Though hiding stuff sucks indeed.

      Edit: You can configure scrollbar to always be visible.

        Well I mainly want the big scrollbars back. Even if these shadow scrollbars of 2px width don’t auto-hide,I still hate them.

        I did find an addon at some point but it seems that it can’t override system settings but I can’t find where it should be a system setting to use these slim scrollbars.

          The scrollbar should double it’s width when you hover it and the hover area is the width of the wider scroll bar with a 6px wide bar and 3px margins on the left and right.

          “Always show scrollbars” also constantly gives you the wider scrollbar.

          Unless you were already talking about this scrollbar and not the thinner 3px wide one with 1px margin
