I have Firefox 46.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 and a few days ago the arrows of the scrollbar disappeared. I have the scrollbar but the up and down arrows are gone so it is more inconvenient to scroll websites up and down. Can you please confirm how I can fix this issue? Please see the screen shot attached for reference.

You can try to use a different GTK 3 theme in case the theme you currently use isn't working properly with Firefox 46+.

Note that Firefox 46.0 and later requires GTK+ 3.4 as a minimum and you need a GTK 3 theme.

Thank you for your response. I checked the GTK version installed on my machine and it looks like it is 3.10 so it should be enough for Firefox 46. See below the output from the terminal. Can you please advise?
