Firefox (version 97) has five different default scrollbar styles, so you can use the browser on any platform. For example, Windows 11 has a minimal form native overlay scrollbar style that only shows up and down arrow buttons when the cursor is at the top or bottom of the bar.

If you are using Microsoft’s latest desktop operating system, Firefox will use the same style of scrollbar. You can also go to the official Firefox support site to know more information. There are five different scroll bars in Firefox. In addition to styles for Windows, it also has styles for MacOS, Android, and GTX.
