Unmaintained

This repo is unmaintained and has been archived. Now you can enable overlay scrollbars in Firefox by adding ui.useOverlayScrollbars with value of 1 in about:config. Firefox GNOME theme has this config enabled by default.

Firefox GNOME scrollbars

Here you can find a Firefox script providing GNOME overlay scrollbars previously included in the Firefox GNOME theme.

Installation

Installation script

git clone https://github.com/rafaelmardojai/firefox-gnome-scrollbars.git && cd firefox-gnome-scrollbars
./install.sh

Manual installation

1. Copy user_chrome contents (gnome-scrollbars.uc.js file & utils folder) to your Firefox profile chrome folder (FIREFOX_PROFILE\chrome).

2. Copy firefox_install contents (config.js file and defaults folder) to Firefox installation folder, usually found in /usr/lib/firefox or /usr/lib64/firefox.

This project includes a custom JS scripts loader based on firefox-scripts by xiaoxiaoflood, so any .uc.js file put in FIREFOX_PROFILE\chrome will be loaded.

If you already use some custom JS scripts loader, just copy user_chrome/gnome-scrollbars.uc.js file.

Removing cache

Sometimes after changes you should remove your Firefox profile cache folder to get things working, found in ~/.cache/mozilla/firefox/.
