I want to set the color of my scrollbar and for it to work in firefox as well.
I read that scrollbar's are not part of the w3c standard and therefore their customizing are not supported in firefox. Well, there must be some way to get it working. Does anyone how to do it?
Short of faking your own scrollbar with JavaScript, it is impossible.

I have just started using the Firefox Developer Tools. When I am in the Style Editor, I can't seem to grab the scrollbar thumb to scroll through my style sheets. I assume I'm missing something but can't find what. I have restarted the developer tools, and restarted Firefox, but that didn't help.
My cursor stays as if it is selecting text, even when I hover over the tiny scrollbar thumb, thus it doesn't let me grab the it. Obviously this is important as style sheets can have many lines!
I am using Firefox 50.1.0 currently.
This is a known bug filed as bug 1265807 .
A workaround for this is to switch to the Firebug theme, which uses the OS default scrollbars:
When I use Firefox I have noticed when I'm using my mouse to scroll the page I'm on the page tends to stick or not move for a moment. I just tried IE and no problem there. I was even on the same page and Firefox still tends to hang up. Anyone can help me out?
Note that the website is mad with classic asp.
I found a similar post here but not any specific solution.

Okay, did some experimenting and found a setting in about:config that makes Smooth Scrolling both smooth and fast: look in about:config for mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount. By default that has a value of 5. I changed that into 50 and now the Smooth Scrolling looks and feels like before.
But I need a way to do it programmatic. I mean if the website detect that the browser is FF then it will do the above manual things programmatic.
an alternate and more efficient solution is this:

The question says it all; I'm interested in using Cappuccino to make layout simpler for me, so I'd like to keep the browser scrollbar active.
Not easily, Cappuccino implements its own scrollbars for added control.
Abandoning that would mean we lose that control.
The scrollbars are themeable though.
I have been trying to play a bit with the CSS3 and build a Netscape logo purely out of CSS3 for training.

The thing is: In Firefox all looks well, but in Chrome something goes wrong. I assume this is the overflow:hidden I have - in Firefox it works but Chrome doesn't seem to render it well.
Any suggestions bout what might be the problem?
I've detailed this issue here: http://tech.bluesmoon.info/2011/04/overflowhidden-border-radius-and.html
In particular, you're being hit by https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50072
The issue shows up in Safari too.
You can workaround this problem if you don't use relative positioning. Try getting rid of the 'position: absolute' CSS property and use negative margins instead (e.g. in your case, something like: 'margin: -204px 0 0 -475px;').
Pay attention however that you'll have to compensate somehow on item ordering (you no longer have control over z-index but you need it).
I had the same problem in Chrome on a Windows computer, a img in a div, with overflow:hidden on the div. On a Mac everything showed fine, but Windows Chrome ignored the overflow:hidden. My solution: -webkit-transform:scale(1); on the img (the child).
how to edit Firefox 'basic page style'
for all sites
with a Stylish script
to set scrollbar to a higher contrast color.
I can't see the thing its terrible.
is there any other way to do this?
The scrollbar is an operating system feature, not a feature of your website. Its look-and-feel are controlled by the user, not the webpage. IE provides a way to change scrollbar colors but it was heavily abused in the early days and is now considered a generally bad idea. In short, if you are trying to manipulate scrollbars from a webpage you're going to have to code a 'fake' scrollbar in Javascript or forget about it.
If you are trying to change only your own system then you may find some possibilities in creating user chrome, greasemonkey script or persona. I'm not sure what is possible there.
