I found a workaround/solution for /scrollbar issue #13466

i had the same issue with scrollbar every now and then, now I have a simple solution for that: detect scroll event. I played around with chatgpt for a while and the result is the attached addon: it detects whether the wheel is able to scroll the site (simplified explanation). if not, it prompts a warning to whitelist the site with the cookie-blocker. this script could be added to the cookie-blocker directly, more or less, couldn't it?

installation was only possible via about:debugging in my case don't know too much about addons and verification though.

how to reproduce:

  1. rename cookie-care.zip into cookie-care.xpi
  2. enter about:debugging into firefox, klick on "this firefox" and then add a temporary addon.
  3. check any site that used to have the scrollbar issue. for example this site
  4. wait for the site to load completely. then scroll up/down.
  5. after a sec you will get a prompt, that there is an issue with your cookie-blocker and you better whitelist that page.
