Hi,

I was previously using Windows 11 with Firefox, and changed back to Windows 10 as W11 has way too many issues on lot of points. But there was one thing I liked in Firefox on W11 is the scroll bars. They were narrow and discreete, and expanded when I hover with the mouse. I prefer that over the wide and very flat Windows 10 bar.

Is there a way to get this new bar on Windows 10 ?

Thanks in advance for your help, have a great day.

If that doesn't achieve what you want, try changing the following preference to 5 in about:config. That relates to the Windows 11 style. widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.style

There is another preference which you may also need to change. See the lengthy comment in the thread below (remove blank space).
