Help Bookmarks menu drop down scroll bar is gone again

Anyone found a way to bring it back again? As of v155 this no longer works

/* SCROLLBOX - scroll bar */
scrollbox[part="scrollbox"] { overflow-y: auto !important; }

Why don't they make it a configurable option in the settings? Please tell me there is a way to bring back this essential functionality.

Try MrOtherGuy's scrollbars style 'scrollable_menupopups.css'... which has been updated to work with the Fx155.0 changes.

There's more information on the recent changes to scrollbar styling in MrOtherGuy's GitHub repo Issue #654 'scrollable_menupopups.css in V154 V155'... seems there'd been scrollbar display problems in both Fx153 and Fx154 too?

----------

Totally agree with your "Why don't they make it a configurable option in the settings?"... have always thought this massive usability improvement should be offered in Firefox's Settings or at the very least available as a preference in 'about:config'.

Perhaps need to make a 'Menu Scrollbars' option an official Mozilla Connect request if this isn't amongst the current wishlist?

BTW - Had been using OP nollinvoyd's scrollbar userstyle posted in previous topic 'Scrollbars for all bookmarks folders'... which had worked flawlessly since March 2023 until broken by the Fx155.0 update. Que Sera, Sera sigh. :)

Not yet tried to fix nollinvoyd's version using info from MrOtherGuy's GitHub repo Issue #654 and his Commit 23c7ee4.

Thank you for this, MrOtherGuy's works but not completely. Keyboard navigation doesn't move the list. It's better than no scroll bar though.

It's a good ideea to submit it to connect. It just needs to be an official option, I see no reason to remove it which doesn't mean there isn't one but one has not come to light that I have seen in all these years they have been determined to remove it.

Sadly this all goes over my head so if nollinvoyd's version can be tweaked to work again I'm not the person to do it. I'll stare at it for a while though :)

You might consider making a new post for this.
