I've had the same frustration. There is an extension call "custom scroll bars". The problem is due to a "feature" where web pages can decide on what a scroll bar looks like and how wide it is. Apparently some web designers think they know what's best for others. It's a flaw, not a "feature". Fire fox claims this "ability" was sought after by web designers. Frankly, I'm wishing there was an alternative browser, firefox has really gone south. --"Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege."
