newsFirefox scrollbar arrows restored
Awhile back, I fixed the gkt3 scrollbars. Firstly, restored scroll a window at a time:

Secondly, restored the scrollbar arrows:

Firefox is OK with the first one, but ignores the second -- does not display the scrollbar arrows.
Alfons sent me an email this morning, reporting this. I looked at
/home/firefox/.config/gtk-3.0, yep, the files are there, so the above
two fixes should be in effect. A online search discovered that FF
defaults to not displaying the scrollbar arrows, and it has to be turned
on:

Quoting:
about:config in your address bar, hit Enter, say OK to the warning.Then search for "scrollbar" and try changing some of the options there, like
widget.non-native-theme.gtk.scrollbar.allow-buttons
There are some other options there too.
Yes, that did it. I have modified the "firefox-skeleton" PET to include this line in the prefs.js file:
user_pref("widget.non-native-theme.gtk.scrollbar.allow-buttons", true);
This appends to the prefs.js that I posted about recently:
