Hi guys!

Previous versions always incremented the righthand sidebar slider by the size of the bar. Now it slides to one extreme or the other. Only way to use it now, is to grab the bar and slide it with the mouse click-and-drag or mousepad on a laptop. Lots of muscle-strain. Would be nice if increments of slide were reattached, or the arrows were re-attached. No options for this in preferences either.

Just thought I'd mention it. Program ain't broke, it's written that way. Needs to be re-evaluated for the slidebar. Not very Human at all.

Have fun and good luck!

If you have no arrows on scrollbars then you may not be using a GTK 3 theme but a GTK 2 theme instead which does not theme Firefox. Fx 46+ requires GTK 3.4 or newer to run and a GTK 3 theme to theme Firefox.

Been looking at the forums. It seems that many are having the same problem,since the adoption of Ubuntu 16.04. From what can gather, added to what yer saying, the GTK driver issued with 16.04 is 3.1x, which is too old. Definite packaging snafu.

Means no easy fix, and should not have happened, from the beginning. With any luck, new GTK library will come in with new updates. If not, much pain will be referenced in the forums. Especially true since Firefox is the default browser in Ubuntu.

Thanks anyhow for you fast reply. Appreciated! Would have been nice if Firefox handled its own screen controls, like the old days. This stuff wouldn't happen. But the needs of Internationalization outweigh the needs of the few <grin>
