The scrollbars.css suggestion should definitely work. Each theme provides
their own version of this file and it says what the scrollbar should look
like, the graphics for the thumb, arrows etc. If your current theme
doesn't have this file in it's chrome (normally in the associated jar file
under skins/themename/global/scrollbars.css) it can't render scrollbars
because its elements have no visible style.
The gtkEmbed & winEmbed haven't been showing scrollbars recently in their
daily smoketests for exactly this reason. Packaging problems meant this
file was missing from the nightly embedding builds.
I've raised bug 67181 to address the problem using nsIDOMWindow and
nsIDOMBarProps
