## Review summary

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.
