Woo CSS scrollbars finally!

only been a feature request for 18 years in their bug tracking tool

Maybe they'll start getting around to 12-year-old security bugs soon?

EDIT: Dang, guess the spittle brigade is really out in force today. Anyone downvoting want to maybe respond in substance as to why they think Firefox should continue ignoring security issues that have been open since the Bush administration?

Is this the version that kills Live Bookmarks? Some of us FF old-timers are hopelessly reliant on these things, and it's, as far as I have found, the fastest way to quickly scan lists of headlines from all your favorite sites at once. Seriously, one click and you can quickly mouse over the sites on your bookmarks toolbar to consume hundreds of headlines.

I really, REALLY hate that they're killing this feature, but this addon promises to restore it: https://www.ghacks.net/2018/07/30/livemarks-restores-live-bo...

Does it come with Mac performance improvements?

> Improved performance for Mac and Linux users, by enabling link time optimization (Clang LTO). (Clang LTO was enabled for Windows users in Firefox 63.)

Well they might have to spend another 18 years to make it a dark scroll bar on Windows when you have a dark theme first :)
