Really a duplicate of bug 21890, except that's marked fixed.  Confirming.

Scrollbars are handled out of userContent.css, not userChrome.css.

If anyone can explain to me why, I'd like to know.  Does this go along the lines
of allowing a webpage to color the scrollbar like in IE?  Except that we don't
actually allow that.
