I am experiences a loss of my vertical and horizontal scrollbar on all pages in all of the tabs on the latest nightly (2008031504)

The only plugin I am using is the "Nightly Tester Tools" plugin and I am using the latest Proto theme.

Reproducible: Always

All third-party themes will need to update what they package for scrollbar CSS, after bug 395454 switched from one chrome URI for Mac and one for everything else to a single URI.

Repackaging alone is not enough.  Windows derived themes that repackage as described above still have no scroll bars in Mac OS.

After a thorough review of the Mac and Windows version of scrollbars.css I figured out that the default Windows theme changed the old xulscrollbars.css to scrollbars.css where as Mac's default theme changed the old nativescrollbars.css to scrollbars.css. 

Using the old nativescrollbars.css as scrollbars.css does not work Mac OS. However, using the old nativescrollbars.css as scrollbar.css on Windows would work just fine if bug 423780 were fixed. Using Fixing bug 423780 would make it possible to have one version of scrollbars.css to support all OSes.

Also the default themes for Mac and Windows should use similar scrollbar.css files based on the old nativescrollbars.css file to facilitate custom theme development. Doin this would only require a could of very minor changes to the old nativescrollbars.css for Windows related to background colors (assuming bug 423780 was fixed).
