Banking on web apps to save Firefox won't work out while the browser continues to not support CSS styling of scrollbars.

Maybe it's just me but the scrollbar thing doesn't look like a game changer to me. Could you be overestimating the severity of a personal pet peeve?

In my mind this is a feature, not a bug.
