I don't believe this is a bug. If you look at the CSS of the site, you'll find this style:

Global.css:

html {... overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical !important; }

If you look this up, you'll see this information:

(http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mozilla_CSS_Extensions#overflow)

-moz-scrollbars-vertical: Indicates that vertical scrollbars should always appear and horizontal scrollbars should never appear.

Why this site set this command, I'll never know, but it explains the weird behavior.

Changed in firefox-3.0:
status: New → Invalid
