Agreed. There's really little or no good reason for a website to be able to change the scrollbars at all.
on Windows you will always have a white scrollbar even with dark theme enabled in Windows and firefox, and if you are then on a dark website the scrollbar is basically a beacon of light
Given that WebKit recently added "Dark Mode" support, it would likely be sufficient for Firefox to do the same and simply recolour the scrollbar itself, rather than trusting CSS artists to do it sanely and properly.

#33Is 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 th…
> but this addon promises to restore it
Mozilla did the same with tab groups, then the addon was abandoned. The replacement that is compatible with the new form of extension isn't able to unload the tabs, just hide them, which undoes most of the performance benefits.

#36'Reload All Tabs' is gone - looks like you have to do a 'Select All Tabs' and then reload
Progress?
Edit: if you don't unselect and close a tab you lose all your pins...

#37> The CSS Scrollbars Level 1 spec standardizes features for setting scrollbar width and color I would like these features to be standardised to hands-off-my-fricking-scrollbars. I’m fed up with impossible-to-grab 1px-wide scrollbars because “everyone has trackpads”. No, they don’t.
> because “everyone has trackpads”. No, they don’t.
Don't most mice have scrolling as well? It's not about trackpads.

#38Kind of a niche thing to comment on, but this release lands a commit I made that enables XDG desktop portals support in Firefox. If you're on KDE Plasma, you can run Firefox with the environment variable `GTK_USE_PORTAL=1` set and it will use KDE file selection dialogs.

arrrr... what they don't realize when they review their telemetry data is that most people that use this feature have turned off sharing telemetry data. Combine that with the fact that they haven't advertised the feature in the past decade and it leads to devs thinking nobody uses it.

This is why I tend to leave telemetry data on. :)
