I noticed that, too, but didn’t really bother b/c I use hjkl or MMB to |
| 10 |
scroll. But your e-mail got me thinking again. At some point I realised that |
| 11 |
this is just a question of theme. I have no idea which one Firefox uses by |
| 12 |
default, there is none explicitly mentioned in the ebuild. I assume it’s the |
| 13 |
GTK default, which would fit contemporary minimalist Gnome design. |

So install any other one theme. You can find them with |
| 16 |
$ eix -C theme -S gtk |
| 17 |
I installed clearlooks-phenix and it gave me back ye typicalle olde look of |
| 18 |
GTK2, including proper mouse-friendly scrollbars. |

I switched the theme using the method of Dale’s description (KDE system |
| 21 |
settings). But in the end, all it does is edit some config file. A quick |
| 22 |
search brought me to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini, which contains |
| 23 |
gtk-theme-name=Clearlooks-Phenix |
| 24 |
. |

I assume that’s because Firefox cannot work without GTK, so there is no |
| 29 |
point in being able to disable it. |
