Restart the apps and the arrows should appear. They are small! I suspect more editing of the .css file can make them larger, but I have not managed to find the exact entry.
There is also a way to keep the scroll bars from disappearing when you mouse away from them.
===> /etc/environment Add this line:
GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING=0
You have to logout/login to make this take effect.
And last – If slider warping really bothers you (it does me!), you can change it with this edit:
===> ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=0
With this setting, clicking the the scroll bar above or below the handle moves one page instead of warping to the relative position in the document.

Thank you. I found that online, after I posted, *but* it did *not* have the ,scrollbar. It also had 1 instead of true, so I changed that, just on general principles, and it works. Btw, what I found online also had
-GtkRange-slider-width: 15;
-GtkRange-stepper-size: 15;
Mine don’t seem to have that issue
Thanks for that one, Bill. It bothers me as well. Interestingly enough, I
have eight terminals up – they’re urxvt, which I prefer, and their scrollbars and buttons never changed.

Switch to Mate and they are there.

Anybody used Trinity? I’m seriously thinking about abandoning KDE.

Assuming you are talking about GTK-based applications (and I think Mozilla apps are that), then edit this file. On my Fedora 29 system:
===> ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css Add these lines:
.scrollbar, scrollbar {
-GtkScrollbar-has-backward-stepper: true;
-GtkScrollbar-has-forward-stepper: true;
}
Restart the apps and the arrows should appear. They are small! I suspect more editing of the .css file can make them larger, but I have not managed to find the exact entry.
