In Firefox 52, the size of scrollbars has become smaller so that it is really tiny and hard to grab by the mouse. For me, this is a usability issue.
The scrollbars were considerably bigger in Firefox 51 and previous releases. To illustrate this, I have attached two screeenshots for comparision between Firefox 51 and 52.
While other GTK3-applications (e.g. Gedit) also have very slim scrollbars, they on the other hand have a mechanismn that makes their scrollbars broaden automatically when you move the mouse over them, so grabbing them isn't an issue. If the same would be possible in Firefox, this would of course be also an acceptable resolution.
Kind regards,
Jan
