I'm seeking a method of making the vertical scroll bar in Firefox wider so it's easier to grab on a touchscreen PC.

There is a solution to your problem on Mozilla Zine: How to make the browser scroll bar wider.

Put this code in both userChrome.css and userContent.css:

/* Increase width of VERTICAL SCROLLBAR */
scrollbar[orient="vertical"], scrollbar[orient="vertical"] thumb, scrollbar[orient="vertical"] scrollbarbutton { min-width: 35px !important; -moz-appearance: none !important; }

/* Increase width of HORIZONTAL SCROLLBAR */
scrollbar[orient="horizontal"], scrollbar[orient="horizontal"] thumb, scrollbar[orient="horizontal"] scrollbarbutton { min-height: 35px !important; -moz-appearance: none !important; }

  • Tried it in a JSfiddle, didn't work. Can you please tell me why?? http://jsfiddle.net/2aHeE/530/ – AtanuCSE Mar 07 '14 at 05:52
  • @AtanuCSE, this is code that needs to go in Firefox's own CSS style files. Not CSS rules that apply to the web content. Only Firefox's own scrollbars. – Victor Dec 18 '17 at 10:02

It's no more possible with userChrome.css or userContent.css for new versions of firefox , try this addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noiascrollbars/

  • Looks like this also no longer works as of Firefox 57. The link displays a big red message: **This add-on is not compatible with your version of Firefox.** – Jens Dec 10 '17 at 12:45

If you are using xp, you can still rightclick on desktop Properties Appearance Advanced Scrollbar and make wider. Mine is 21.

It also will affect Firefox and ALL other programs I use on my XP.
