Honest question: Can you tell me how to increase the scrollbar size of Firefox browser on a Pop!_OS operating system?

Does the suggestion in the article not work? There are few options in about:config for scrollbars so I'd look at the others too. If that doesn't work I'd bet https://old.reddit.com/r/FirefoxCSS/ has a solution.

Thank you for your reply. I tried several options and finally found a setting.

I changed the setting for widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override from 1 to 50 and it increased size.

The initial value of 1 was confusing me because I kept thinking it is Boolean 1.

Posting a solution here in case someone else finds it useful.

That is confusing... I'm not sure what the unit of measurement there even is. Something like pixels would be nice, but that can't be it with a default of 1!

about:config is invaluable, but better documentation on the options would really be nice.

The suggestion in the article did not work for me — Firefox 118, MacOS Ventura.
