Bug Description
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.)
The expected behaviour is that the scrollbars should widen when you hover over them, the same as with other gnome 3.20+ apps.
