thanks! 😋

I have created the chrome folder added userChrome.css with the above code; enabled toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets. But still by scrollbar is grey. Using firefox quantam 68.0.2 (32-bit)

Make sure you are using the correct version for your firefox. See the conversation above here.

Hm, I can't get this working on Firefox 71, tried the darkscrollbars.as.css and RestartFirefoxButton_Movable.uc.js, to no effect, the scroll bars stay the same and no button is made. :(

Same here. I tried almost all 'solutions', none of them seem to fix that ridiculous hardly visible scrollbar button issue.
For crying out loud, what total IDIOT designed it like this? He/she should be shot, right after having been forced to change the scrollbar button color to something contrasting the bar itself.

It's definitely working guys. I'm using latest nightly and have been since before version 60 and it works in all versions. Have a scroll up and see the problems and solutions posted above, see if you can find something which matches your situation.

I tried them all, none of them work.

Thank you, all! The first couple of times, somehow it had no effect.

But, when I removed all contents of UserChrome.css, then added them back in again (without changing them at all), while restarting the browser a couple of times, at some point it suddenly worked. And then any change I made in dark-scrollbar.as.css worked immediately as I restarted the browser. So now I am happy.

So there was some temporary problem which I cannot comprehend. Could it have been something to do with caching?

Hi, I know this worked on my old computer but I forgot how I made it work.
Now with the coronavirus I’m not home and I have another computer with FF 74 x64, and this doesn’t work at all.

Steps I’ve done:

1. toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true
2. copied files to: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxxx.default-release\chrome:

• userChrome.css
• dark-scrollbar.as.css

Can someone confirm it still works in FF 74 please?

Hmm this has stopped working for me as well. I don't know when that happened. I am now on FF 74.

What is the source of this ridiculous issue? Why can't Mozilla fix this globally, for all windows users?

It's still not working on FF 75. @Sporif any idea what's going on?

@astronaute77 @Cerberus-tm @jult @e-t-l This method stopped working with Firefox 72. Since XBL was removed the -moz-binding rule does nothing.

@Sporif Oh, dear, thanks for the information. Now I wonder whether there is another way to give the scrollbar button a more contrastive (darker) colour.

@Cerberus-tm There are other methods of using custom scripts: https://github.com/Aris-t2/CustomJSforFx
