Firefox (Gecko) scrollbar-color with CSS

You all know about the big problem of every client-side developer: browser differences. Grrr, I hate those incompatibilities, non-standard and standard things.

Then comes client who has beautiful site, who just want to enable viewing of his site in non-IE browsers.

Take a look at this example, which uses CSS3 opacity
