Whether you're trying to give back to the open source community or collaborating on your own projects, knowing how to properly fork and generate pull requests is essential. Unfortunately, it's quite easy to make mistakes or not know what you should do when you're initially learning the process. I know that I certainly had considerable initial trouble with it, and I found a lot of the information on GitHub and around the internet to be rather piecemeal and incomplete - part of the process described here, another there, common hangups in a different place, and so on.

In an attempt to coallate this information for myself and others, this short tutorial is what I've found to be fairly standard procedure for creating a fork, doing your work, issuing a pull request, and merging that pull request back into the original project.

As far as I am aware the time has come and as of Firefox 72 XUL has been stripped from firefox and so the method used to inject this scrollbar theme is no longer supported -- reference the following for future scroll themes:

Mozilla is currently working to phase out the APIs used to make this theme work. I will try to maintain each version until that time but eventually there will be no workaround. When that time comes there is a new, but more limited api for applying simple themes to scrollbars. In nightly I am currently using the following userContent.css

:root{
	scrollbar-width: thin;
	scrollbar-color: rgb(82, 82, 82) rgb(31, 31, 31);
