Those are GTK scrollbars, controlled initially by whatever theme(s) are
installed and selected.

Firefox's are a too narrow sourge on users with limited hand-pointing device
coordination and/or vision, which Plasma unfortunately copied from Gnome.

Check about:buildconfig in TB. Maybe you got a version build with GTK2. FB is
built with GTK3. GTK has ultimate control of scrollbar width, which for GTK3 you
can fine tune through ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css.
