i installed also the gnome theme... the ugly scroll bar appeared but not in every place where it should be and sometimes it disappeared completely. something is utterly wrong with it. and it seems to be within the adwaita theme, because I dont have this problem under 14.04 only in xenial.
my workaround was downgrading to firefox 45 (gtk2) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575896 Title: Scrollbar thumb not drawn in firefox 46 (gtk3?) Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: As of today's firefox 46 release, the scrollbar thumb is not being drawn, just see a thin grey bar on the right side of the window. Probably related to switchover to gtk3. Gtk theme is the ubuntu-gnome default of Adwaita. See screenshot attached.
