User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030817 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030818 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1+

In the nightly Firebird build (XFT/GTK2) of 20030818, no vertical scrollbar is
present even though the viewed page extends beyond the bottom of the browser.
The page can still be scrolled via mousewheel. This has been tried with several
different themes (Skypilot Classic, Noia-Warm, & Crystal).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firebird
2. Go to any page that needs to be scrolled


Actual Results:  
Page was displayed but no vertical scrollbar appeared to allow one to scroll the
page.

Expected Results:  
Vertical scrollbar should have appeared to allow one to grab it with the mouse
to scroll the page.
Reproducible using the 2003-08-18 build for Linux.  I used "Bluemonkey,"
"Brassy" and "Coffee."  No vertical scroll bar is present in any of those themes.
Reproducible in WindowsXP too

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030818 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1+
Confirned this bug too , 
happen with me when using 20030818 and 20030819 build with any other theme than
de default one.
With the default no problem happens.
Reproducible with the 20030819 Linux build
More additional information...

It is not just that there is no vertical scrollbar for the main Firebird window
when using a theme other than the default...

There are no vertical scrollbars ANYWHERE, within ANY window, within Firebird.
Plus, if one shortens the width of the main Firebird window so that a horizontal
scrollbar SHOULD appear, it doesn't. As a matter of fact, there appear to be
absolutely no scrollbars (vertical and horizontal) ANYWHERE within Firebird if
not using the default theme.
I concur.  I see neither vertical nor horizontal scroll bars where they should
be.  Rick, would you consider changing the bug title to "There is no scrollbar"?

With Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030818 Mozilla
Firebird/0.6.1+ and Bluemonkey theme , I noticed an heterogeneous behavior of
Firebird . My home page is composed of six web pages launched into six tabs .
Some of these six tabs have scrollbars , and the others have no scrollbars .

theme creators have to update their themes to use the new toolkit only.
grep your files for /bindings/ and use /widgets/ instead.

pch: since this affects a large number of themes, perhaps a themeversion bump is
in order?
I am curious to know what was the reason for this change in the toolkit?  I do
not mean to blame anybody, but I would try to avoid a large change like this
unless there's a compelling reason to do so.

I still believe the version change isn't necessary.  That'd mean just more
changes that the theme creators have to make.
Jesse: that may be a good idea. I will not be able to do that until some weeks,
though.

Daigoro: I highly appreciate all the work by the theme creators! But remember
Firebird is still a beta software. Basically, before the patch, we were using
widgets from both the xpfe and the new toolkit. The work I've done on the
toolkit is part of a larger plan to seperate firebird from seamonkey. When it
will be done, we won't have to ship anymore the extra communicator stuff that we
don't need. During this reorganization period of one to three months, a lot of
work will have to happen and more breakages will inevitably occur: css files and
images from navigator or communicator will be moved to the toolkit or the
browser. That's something beneficial to Firebird in the long term but I regret
that this necessary migration will cause you pain.
btw, xbl widgets and bindings in skin files make even less sense since we have
the xul preprocessor. They should be removed.
Pierre,

Thanks much for the detailed explanations.  That makes a lot of sense. I didn't
know the story behind all the changes.  I'm thankful you've helped me learn.
I just pulled out an affected theme, did a grep, and then made a new .jar file
of it and the solution works on the Luna theme on the "Updated Firebird Theme"
page at http://home.comcast.net/~dtoyama/firebird/themes.html.

A question now: how is this bug to be resolved?  Am I correct in an eventual
INVALID, and will this happen after a themeversion bump?  Just wondering...
We now know the problems are with the themes , not with fb.
But a problem that still persist is the add bookmark menu wont let you choose
which folder you want it bookmarked if you using a theme.
I have no problem with the "create in" list box in any of the themes that I've
updated (namely, Gorilla and Noia-Warm).  The list drops down, showing all the
subdirectories that I have.
-> not really a bug in Firebird, ergo INVALID

Problemo: 
v.6 themes drop scroll bars with v.0.7 v.0.7 thmes likely do the same with v 0.8

Solution:

update your themes so they are Moz version-appropriate.

Problem with scrollbarson Firefox 0.8 on MacOSX 10.3.3 when using themes other
than default too, but back and forward buttons are okay.  
When a new theme is applied, scrollbars dissapear.  When Firefox is exited, and
reloaded, scrollbar areas appear as solid grey, extending length of page.  
Four different themes produced the same result.  

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206
Firefox/0.8

This is occuring with every 0.9 compatible theme on the Mozilla Update site when
using Firefox for Mac OS X 0.9/0.9.1.  The scrollbars are invisible on all forms
(Browser, Preferences, etc) but still functional.  The back/forward buttons ARE
visible for Mac OS X 0.9/0.9.1, unlike the original bug report.
Once the back button stops working, you must close and reopen Firefox so it will
work again. Switching back to the default theme won't renable it.
Scrollbars on OSX is bug 222654.  You must use an OSX version of the theme, such
as Pinball for OSX.  Unfortunately, UMO does not have an "everything but OSX"
category, so people are mislead.
no new dupes for a couple of months - should be hard to run into this with 0.9
upwards (aside from the separate OS X bug). returning to INVALID.

This is still a bug in 1.0PR and nightly builds.  Not sure why this is set to
INVALID?
because its up to theme authors to style stuff right.  If they bind to
nonexistent bindings, its their issue, not ours.

I am using macosx 10.8.3 and user agent
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050306
Firefox/1.0+

Any and all scroll bars.  ANY AND ALL (theme independent, possibly worked w/
default theme originally and then messed up for all themes when I installed a theme)

however, the only themes ive installed are the phoenity 1.4.1 and plastikfox
crystal svg 1.5.1

where can i sign up to help on this one?

I used in SUSE 9.2 the desktop-theme HighPerformance Liquid.
Attached image Screenshot — 
There are no standard icons and the address in the address bar doesn't change even when the tab is changed and also Fast dial doesn't work.
This can be seen in the screenshot that has been attached.
I use ubuntu Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008072820 Firefox/3.0.1
I can confirm that changing back to the Default theme restores scrollbars.  Mac OSX 10.4.11, Firefox 3.0.3.  Was using Qute Classic 3.2.3.3.
Well it seems like there is some other serious problem.
This is because i now have the default theme but still there are no scrool bars etc and also that Firefox has stopped working. It opens the main page and then stops working i.e. If i type google.com in the address bar it opens google but when i start to search it stops there only.For the purpose of understanding i have added screenshots.
Hi everyone, got my Firefox working by deleting the .mozilla folder in the /home directory. When i opened Firefox, to my surprise i could see Firefox running but the thing was it was the default Firefox (the one at the time of installation of OS)and had to install all the add ons and had to fetch bookmarks from the server. Actually it had created a .mozilla folder in the /home directory by itself after deleting it.
