Hidden scrollbars in Firefox (allows scrolling but just no scrollbar)
I'd like to create a div that is able to scroll but does not display scrollbars. I have found a solution for Webkit (below) but how can this be done in other browsers?
I'd prefer to avoid using a javascript plugin. Hoping to find a CSS or vendor specific solution.
Webkit Solution
#photoreel::-webkit-scrollbar {
height: 0;
width: 0;
}
#photoreel {
overflow-x: scroll;
overflow-y: hidden;
}
You must wrap your scrollable div in another div with overflow:hidden
that hides the scrollbar.
See http://jsfiddle.net/qqPcb/ for an example.
BTW: The same technique is used by a nice little jQuery plugin called jScrollPane

Since Firefox 64 there is a perfectly simple solution for this (working only in Firefox and Firefox mobile)
scrollbar-width: none;
Check the docs
For the comers from the post marked as duplicate, there is also MS Edge solution:
-ms-overflow-style: -ms-autohiding-scrollbar;
For (pre-Chromium) Edge:-ms-overflow-style: none;
For Firefox:scrollbar-width: none;
