Ok, I wasn't too sure weither this topic would be better under Internet or Software, so if it is in the wrong place please forgive me.

I have a question about web browsers. I currently use Firefox and I was wondering if there is a way to get FireFox to display CSS Scrollbars, like Opera and Internet Explore do.

I've currently looked at the FireFox Add-On site and did a few searches on Google and I have come up with nothing and I'm getting a strange suspision that there is no way to do such a thing.

If anyone can help I will be forever grateful.

Currently there is no way to get that to work. The only way it would work is if Mozilla added it into a new version of firefox which i hope they do soon since i love that feature.

For the moment there is no way of editing the scrollbars for Firefox. Only way is to force your veiws to download 1 Firefox theme, in which changes the scrollbar. But thats to much trouble for 1 scrollbar. What I do is to have on the website - Best veiwed in Internet Explorer - Somewhere for them to see.

you i've also wanted this feature implemented into firefox for a long time to come. you'd think it would be a standard feature seeing firefox is such a widely used web browser. lets all hope they squeeze it into their next release!

I doubt that will happen.

Firefox 3 is expected to reach the level of Standards Compliance required to pass the Acid Test 2, which means behaving strongly to the w3c standards and scrollbars enhancements are not in the specifications, so don't be holding your breathe waiting to Firefox to breach those specifications.

Just my take on this problem.

Awwh, that' too bad. I mean, if one site has a theme, it would really be nifty if the scrollbars, too, followed that theme. Then again, the novelty of the idea might wear off once everyone else uses CSS for scrollbars. Nonetheless, while browsers like IE and Opera support CSS toolbars, there will still be people who'd use 'em. As for Firefox users (me included), too bad. Still, what damage could not seeing CSS scrollbars do?

Well you may search for some add on it might be helpful.

personally I don't like having "styled" scrollbars anyway. Sometimes (if they are well designed) they are okay. But a lot of times they make for a more difficult user experience because they are different from what the user is used to. I guess it's a personal opinion.

I dont like poorly designed one either, but I do not know flash/javascript so everytime I have a DIV overflow: scroll it puts a nice big ugly scroll bar where my main content is. Guess ima have to learn another way of styling the scroll bar.. perhaps java?I dont wanna go the flash route.

Lol I hate that feature in IE. its so annoying to see the website controlling the gui of my system. Its great if your a web developer, but super annoying if your surfing that page. If you realy must though theres a quick and easy way to get around that and make it work on all web browsers. Use javascript and div layers to make a dynamic scrollbar for the page, and hide the real one by putting all of your content in a div layer and setting overflow to hidden, then have the scrollbar scroll up and down the div layer with the content in it.
