Public bug reported:

Firefox 52.0.1 in Ubuntu 17.04 has very narrow scrollbars that are
difficult to click on using a mouse - they are about one-third of the
width of the 'old-style' scrollbars used throughout most of Ubuntu until
a few weeks ago. (ubuntu-gnome has the same problem, fwiw.)

I notice that some applications, like gnome-terminal, still use the old-
style scrollbars. Others, like Nautilus and Rhythmbox, have a half-width
scrollbar like Firefox, but the scrollbar doubles in width when the
mouse moves near to them, making them almost as usable as the old-style
scrollbars.
