I find it pretty annoying that the scrollbar keeps disappearing. How do I stop that. Also I would like it a little thicker like it used to be.

Scrollbars on Linux and Windows 11 won't take space by default. On Linux, users can change this in Settings. On Windows, Firefox follows the system setting (System Settings > Accessibility > Visual Effects > Always show scrollbars)
