User Reviews
User feedback is mixed: many users report the add-on works simply and effectively, while a substantial number report it fails to hide scrollbars. Reports indicate inconsistent behavior across Firefox versions and contexts (e.g., works on 120.0.1 but not on older versions), causing reliability concerns despite positive experiences from other users. Pros
- Effectively hides scrollbars for many users — multiple reviews say “works perfectly” or “just works.”
- Simple and reliable when it does work — users praise its ease and no‑config behavior.
- Confirmed working on at least some Firefox versions (one review cites Firefox 120.0.1).
Cons
- Fails to hide scrollbars for many users — several reviews report “not working” or scrollbars still visible.
- Inconsistent behavior across installations/Firefox versions (some report it works, others report it doesn’t; one mentions failure on 89.0.2).
- Spotty/environment‑dependent results — effectiveness may depend on browser version or restricted tab contexts, leading to mixed reports.

Is hide-scrollbars Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
hide-scrollbars requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
