Do you also see this in Firefox's safemode?

I started mozilla in the safe mode, selected reset tool bars and clicked on change and restart. The arrows appeared. After a normal restart the arrows remained.

Thanks for the hint. I did not know that Firefox had a safe mode.

It returned on 2 more times.

Scroll arrows returned after safe start and resetting preferences.
