I assume the scroll bar is drawn by GTK in Ubuntu, not by FF itself.
Maybe check the settings of it.

using the latest Firefox? Your TB is quite old so wondered if FF is also
very old. See this image to see what settings I am talking about.

But does "scrollbars" equal "scrollbars with arrows at top and bottom" ?
That is the question.
*******
These are some options Firefox used to have. These are widget styles 0..5
Some of them have arrows at top and bottom, for fine control.

widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.style 0=Default OS style scrollbar
<=== could be GTK on linux
1=MacOSX
2=GTK
3=Android
4=W10
5=W11
On my system, that preference shows as Boolean.
This is not the first time the arrows have gone missing.
I tried the GTK.css method and it made no difference.

Deleted the Boolean preference. No luck setting Number preference to 0 or 2.

An example, showing change to scroll bar that results.

Then compare to some older Firefox.

You can see that "4" makes it the "wide one", but with no arrows.
Which means, perhaps, a theme overrides it and
a theme file needs to have scrollbar entries added.

Will look into scrollbar theme file. I recall seeing something about adding script-like lines to <filename>.css ?

That's the basic idea. Maybe a gtk.css file.
Oh, yes-yes-yes, that's the name (gtk.css). But,
I recall that attempt didn't work either, which
is why I didn't look further.
What's the best way to upgrade Firefox without disturbing too many system files? Which version of Firefox is most stable?
But it's a long shot, based on the progress to date.

about:config
in the search bar and then accept the warning
that takes you to advanced settings then type scrollbar in the
searchbox.

The BZIP2 they provide, is not a .deb, so the package manager won't know
you have
unpacked this into a folder. There is firefox (script) and firefox (the
ELF binary)
in the folder. Examine the script first, to see what it is doing.
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/103.0.2/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-103.0.2.tar.bz2
To point to a completely separate profile, there is this hack.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bypassing_the_Profile_Manager#Creating_a_profile_that_is_not_listed_in_the_Profile_Manager
cd ~/Downloads/firefox_unpacked/firefox
./firefox -profile ~/myprofile # the script should call ./firefox-bin
# if ~/myprofile does
not exist, it should mkdir it.
I know something like this is possible, because if you build
a Nightly in your own homedir, there is a folder in there
you can use for running the Nightly, without affecting any
Release versions. The profile for the Nightly is not supposed
to touch the release ones.
The profiles could be stamped with a profile version, such as
52.2ESR or the like, and while a profile can be migrated forward,
I don't know what happens to your passwords if you attempt
to migrate backwards. That's why, best hygiene is to run the
second copy completely separate from existing infrastructure.
The Firefox command line responses are muted and weak as piss,
so don't expect any "warnings" of the normal sort from mis-typing
anything. All you might see is some rubbish about OpenGL or GTK issues. Building a Debug version of Firefox, may have more messages in it,
but again, don't expect the messages to help exactly.
