Description

I was watching a YT playlist; I was curious to see other videos by scrolling in the playlist, and yet once I pressed "f" there was no letter for the playlist scrolling bar :(

It's similar to #4048 : there should be a collection/set of html tags that we can click on and use them.
I noticed the same behavior with scrollable text area as well

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Chrome with a YouTube playlist and a scrollable text area, then compare the behavior with issue #4048. Trace how Vimium identifies scrollable elements and determine how the playlist scrollbar and text area should become navigable. Done means scrolling works after pressing "f" in both reported cases, with regression coverage where the existing tests permit it.
