Hi,

I’m planning to enable scrollbars by default for windows opened by
window.open().

Bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1257887

This change intends to enable scrollbars by default when “scrollbars”
doesn't appear in the feature argument of window.open(), and to disable
only when opener pages specify explicitly. Currently window.open() disables
scrollbars by default unless the feature argument enables explicitly or is
an empty string. However in the majority of the cases the user will want to
be able to scroll, and a lot of accessibility docs recommend enabling
scrollbars by default.

Chrome and Safari don't provide a way to disable scrollbar, according to

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1257887#c0

If you have any concern or know of regression on pages relying on current
behavior, please let me know.


-Ben
