The problem has never been with Firefox restricting access to settings. The problem is that Firefox has implemented scrollbars using the W3C standard, which doesn't support a wide scrollbar. This means that the browser simply does not support any width other than default, thin, and none. You can see the specification here: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-scrollbars/#scrollbar-width

You can, as you pointed out, change the scrollbar width globally across Firefox using some modifications to about:config. The challenge with this is that the user needs to do it manually since the add-on cannot change any settings in about:config. Long ago, add-ons used to be able change settings there, but when Firefox converted everything to use webextension technology that ability was removed and will not come back: https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/webextension-read-write-access-to-about-config/12268

The Toggle Resist Fingerprinting add-on that you referenced does have access to a very limited set of privacy-related settings, but only because Firefox has chosen to make those settings available to add-ons: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/privacy

Unfortunately, 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.

Unfortunately, this is a limitation of the Firefox browser. Unlike Chrome, Firefox does not allow complete control over the scrollbar width.

Sorry 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.

Hi James. Sorry to hear you had issues with the add-on.

As far as the scrollbar buttons go, currently Firefox only supports limited scrollbar customizations. That only includes colors and very limited width settings. As Firefox adds more features (which I hope they do), I will be able to add more functionality.

As for no visible changes being shown, it's important to note that there are some pages the add-on cannot make changes to. These mainly include internal browser pages (settings, etc.) and pages that are generated by other add-ons. For more information, see: https://github.com/WesleyBranton/Custom-Scrollbar/wiki/Pages-this-extension-cannot-modify

Hallo! 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.

Sorry 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.

Sorry 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.

When 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.

Sorry 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.
