I saw some questions about this, but those questions don't gave a solution that could work for me.

I want to increase the Scrollbar width of a div. The div size is huge, so a horizontal scrollbar has appeared. Now I want to increase the width of that scrollbar for more flexibility. So I search and found following link with code that works on Chrome browser. JSFiddle

::-webkit-scrollbar {
    width: 2em;
    height: 2em
}
::-webkit-scrollbar-button {
    background: #ccc
}

But this doesn't work on Firefox. I tried to replace the webkit with moz , didn't work either.

I also found that writting following code in userContent.css file of firefox can increase scrollbar width, but 1) I didn't find that userContent.css file in windows 7. 2) I can't go to users' home to tell them how to increase scrollbar width manually :P That's not a solution.

/* Increase width of VERTICAL SCROLLBAR */
scrollbar[orient="vertical"], scrollbar[orient="vertical"] thumb, scrollbar[orient="vertical"] scrollbarbutton { min-width: 35px !important; -moz-appearance: none !important; }

/* Increase width of HORIZONTAL SCROLLBAR */
scrollbar[orient="horizontal"], scrollbar[orient="horizontal"] thumb, scrollbar[orient="horizontal"] scrollbarbutton { min-height: 35px !important; -moz-appearance: none !important; }

Is there any way so that I can increase scrollbar width in both Chrome & Firefox?? (Forget IE) I can use html css javascript & jquery solutions, but no scrollbar plugin. I've to convert the native scrollbar from browsers.

Although chrome supports changing the scrollbar width using -webkit prefixes none of the other browsers do. Some allow the scrollbar to be styled so the colours are different but as far as I am aware you cannot change the width.

Instead, if it is absolutely essential you change the scrollbar, you will need to use a JavaScript solution.

There are many solutions out there - too many to document in an answer on SO - but here are a few links to get you started:
