Hidden Scrollbars in Firefox (Allows Scrolling But Just No Scrollbar)

Hidden scrollbars in Firefox (allows scrolling but just no scrollbar)

You must wrap your scrollable div in another div with overflow:hidden that hides the scrollbar.

See http://jsfiddle.net/qqPcb/ for an example.

BTW: The same technique is used by a nice little jQuery plugin called jScrollPane

Only hide scrollbar, not disable scrollbar on Firefox Windows

This cannot be solved only using CSS. The issue open against Firefox is under discussion for more than 6 years.

Here are the details : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77790#c188

There is no solution to this problem until Firefox Devs allow scrollbar customization through what is termed as "CSS Scrollbar Modules".

Until then, Firefox on Windows will have ugly-thick-visible-grey scrollbars.

Hide scroll bar, but while still being able to scroll

Just a test which is working fine.

#parent{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    overflow: hidden;
}

#child{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    overflow-y: scroll;
    padding-right: 17px; /* Increase/decrease this value for cross-browser compatibility */
    box-sizing: content-box; /* So the width will be 100% + 17px */
}

Working Fiddle

JavaScript:

Since the scrollbar width differs in different browsers, it is better to handle it with JavaScript. If you do Element.offsetWidth - Element.clientWidth, the exact scrollbar width will show up.

Or

Using Position: absolute,

#parent{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    overflow: hidden;
    position: relative;
}

#child{
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: -17px; /* Increase/Decrease this value for cross-browser compatibility */
    overflow-y: scroll;
}

Information:

Based on this answer, I created a simple scroll plugin.

Hide vertical scrollbar but still scroll for Firefox/IE/Edge

All you need to do for webkit-enabled browsers is

::-webkit-scrollbar { display:none }

I don't believe there is a pure CSS way to do this in firefox, as it doesn't currently support scrollbar customization. see related for the way to do it with padding, which might be your only option:Hide scroll bar, but while still being able to scroll.
