Firefox For Mac Touch Bar

 

I am running OSX 10.9 Maverick on a Macbook Pro . I observe this problem in Firefox 25.1 The scroll bars in any application window all dissapear after about a second. If you resize the window or select an item with subdirectories in a list, the scroll bar in the pane you are in reappears, but it does not dwell long enough to allow you to move a cursor over it. (What is the point of making it dissapear anyway?) Two finger scrolling does not work for some reason, using a function and direction key or just a direction key works to scroll only in some websites but not all of them. This little bit of cleverness, if intentional is both un-needed and dysfunctional.

On your Mac, choose Apple menu System Preferences, click Keyboard, then click Keyboard. Set options for the Touch Bar. Touch Bar shows: Click the pop-up menu, then choose what you want the Touch Bar to show—for example, app buttons or the expanded Control Strip. When a video is playing, Safari lets you control playback and scrub through the video from the touch bar. When a text field is focused, you get the usual word suggestions. When focus is in the URL bar, you get icons of the URL bar dropdown items. In Firefox, the bar is always empty. Download Mozilla Firefox, a free web browser.
