It doesn't seem we've hit issues with them, we should consider letting them ride the trains.

(Tweak the pref name to match the gtk name, using dash rather than underscore).

Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated)
[Why is this notable]: Scrollbar style changes to better match platform conventions.
[Affects Firefox for Android]: No
[Suggested wording]: Scrollbars on Linux and Windows 11 won't take space by default. On Linux users can change this on about:preferences. On Windows we follow the system setting (System Settings > Accessibility > Visual Effects > Always show scrollbars). If users need to change this just on Firefox they can use the widget.windows.overlay-scrollbars.enabled pref from about:config (but hopefully shouldn't be needed).
