How can I widen the vertical scroll bar width in Firefox and Thunderbird?

How can I widen the vertical scroll bar width in Firefox and Thunderbird?

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

  • How can I get the vertical scroll bar in firefox for mac to operate more smoothly?

    This scroll bar issue has been a real pain for awhile, though it seemed to be better for a period of time and now has grown much worse again. I'm using Firefox 22.0. I try to grasp the blue scroll bar (right side placement) to move it up or down for pages that require scrolling to view, and it is very hard to hold and move the bar, plus it often bogs down as the colored wheel shows up as if the software is trying to process the action. It's very frustrating. I'm set to "smooth scrolling" in the Firefox settings, but that doesn't help. Is there a way to fix this and make the scroll bar move quickly and smoothly in Firefox for Mac?

  • QuickView: How can I change the default full screen width of PDFs and JPGs

    Hello,
    I am very happy with the changes on the new OSX Lion.  But I have a disappointment form QuickView.  On Snow Leopard I will hit the "Option+Space" to QuickView files (mostly pdf and jpg) on full width and just scroll up and down with the mouse or the arrow keys.  Now in Lion, when I press "Option+Space" I get the file on full height.  This does not work for me because the information on screen is too small and I end up having to open the file on Preview.
    How can I change this settings so they are like on Snow Leopard?
    Thanks in advance.

    Not only can you set global values for each of the three columns, but you can also set unique column widths on a per community basis like this:
    .ptCommunity-1234 .columnOne { width: 635px; border-right:1px solid #CCCCCC; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 20px; }
    .ptCommunity-1234 .columnTwo { width: 240px; padding-top: 10px; padding-left: 8px;}
    You can see here my community #1234 has a wide first column and a more narrow column two and even puts a little solid line between them.
    It's all in the stylesheets on your imageserver at the path I mentioned earlier. Again, look at the experience definition object in your admin portal and look at the stylesheet name in the dropbox. The stylesheet name you see is mapped to the .css file using the community-themes.txt file in the same ...yadayada/common/public/css folder on the imageserver.
    If you have, lets say, a mainstyle1-en.css that only has about a dozen lines dictating only the few items you mentioned before - then it has been stripped at one time because the default that comes w/ an original install is huge and a great starting point. It even has style tips and snippets in comment blocks to tutor you through its gargantuan variety of options.

  • How can I lock the "Vertical Scrolling" in apps that I've created to turn the articles only in horizontal way? Although there aren't articles in the same file this kind of scroll appears.

    "Method Three
    Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
    This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
    I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

  • How do I set the vertical scroll bar to be displayed all the time?

    This is a part of program I coded:
    TreeNode root = makeNBATree();
    DefaultTreeModel model = new DefaultTreeModel(root);
    tree = new JTree(model);
    JPanel p = new JPanel();
    p.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 0));
    JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane(tree,ScrollPaneConstants.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER,
         ScrollPaneConstants.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
    sp.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500, 500));
    p.add(sp);
    contentPane.add(p, "Center");
    when I compiled and ran the program, it said
    Exception in thread"main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: invalid verticalScrollBarPolicy
    at javax.swing.JScrollPane.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(Unknown Source)
    at javax.swing.JScrollPane.<init>(Unknown Sourc)
    at NBATreeFrame.<init>(NBATree.java:59)
    at NBATree.main(NBATree.java:239)
    I would like to know is there any part I coded wrong?

    Take a look at the API again:
    JScrollPane(Component view, int verticalPolicy, int horizontalPolicy)
    You have:
    JScrollPane(Component view, int Horizontal, int Vertical)

  • At times when dragging the vertical scroll bar my computer screen oscillates up and down for some time before going blank or not responding to any clicks requiring a forced system restart. What is wrong?

    Hi,
    Suddenly while working with Firefox if I happen to drag the vertical scroll bar, a very abnormal behavior occurs. My screen dances up and down for a short time before either going black or getting restored but with no clicks working. The only way to resume is to force a restart of the system.
    Any help would be deeply appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards
    Deepak

    That didn't work. On trying to install a new driver I got the error the graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware. Is there anything else that can be done to at least prevent the hanging of the computer even if it means less features from Firefox being available?

  • Adobe Reader move the vertical scroll bar from left to right

    Hi,
    is it possible to move the vertical scroll bar from left to right in Adobe Reader 9?
    If not, are you planning to implement this functionality?

    I meant from right to left, sorry
    You see, I'm left handed and when I use the scroll bar that is on the right side with the left hand I don't actually see the content of the page, because my left hand is covering the screen (I'm browsing the internet in tablet mode and I use the pen to navigate between pages).
    My system is a Tablet PC with Windows XP Tablet Edition 2005 and Adobe Reader 9.3.2.
    P.S. can you edit my post so the google indexes it right? (
    from right to left
    instead of "from left to right")

  • Removing the Vertical scroll bar from the content area.

    Hello,
    Is there a way to remove the vertical scroll bar from the content area?
    I am trying to create a new light portal frame work.
    Everything works fine except that I see two vertical scroll bars, one from the content area and another from the page(frame).
    Thanks in advance.
    -Sudheer

    Hi
    There are a couple of ways in which to achieve this
    1) Try and make the content flat. What I mean by this is that the content area (when using the standard light framework) doesn't contain an iframe, meaning that the iview defined on the page has "EMBEDDED" isolation mode. This should mean that you only have one scrollbar (if the content extends past the size of the browser)
    2) If you need to make the iview URL isolation, then try and get the domain of the content to be of a similar domain to your portal server, i.e. your portal is portal.company.com and the content is content.company.com. In this way you can make the pages expand.
    NOTE: One thing to note is that when using URL isolation iviews doesn't allow the automatic expanding of the iframe content. This is because the standard javascript doesn't allow this. Therefore you may have to write your own javascript function (or content area page) to do this
    I hope this helps

  • In FF 4.0 why does the down arrow no longer function in the vertical scroll bar?

    Prior to FF 4.0 when I positioned my cursor over the down arrow of the vertical scroll bar in Hotmail and depressed the left mouse button, the scroll bar moved downward toward the bottom of it's column limit. Now in 4.0 it turns into an adjustment cursor forcing me to readjust the size of the Hotmail window rather than moving the scroll bar down the column. This only seems to happen in Hotmail.

  • When I open gmail, I cannot use the vertical scroll bar.

    When I use the gmail website on firefox, the vertical scroll bar. As there is no horizontal scroll bar on the website, the vertical scroll bar layers over the top of the page resizer and makes the arrow button for the scroll unusable.
    Please advise.

    you may be connected to the wireless network but the question is the internet working properly on the wireless network...
    what i mean is that i can make a wireless network without the internet so i can save and share files and have other devices connected to the same network access them... but you have to make sure that your internet it running properly... may have to reconfigure the router is your using PPPOE or if it was working prior to your post then try to restart your modem... that usually resolves most issues.

    If you are trying to copy the world map from the main "Places" screen the only way I see is to do a screen shot and use it - I do not think there is a way to get a high res copy of that map
