http://hamilton.bargaincity.ca/css/main.css specifies:

html{
	overflow:-moz-scrollbars-vertical;
}

which (in Gecko based browsers) maps to:

html{
	overflow-x: hidden;
        overflow-y: scroll;
}

which inhibits the viewport horizontal scrollbar.

There's no bug in Firefox here, we're only doing what the style author
specified.  Removing the style rule seems the right thing to do.

How come the Horizontal Bar works fine on Internet Explorer?

"overflow:-moz-scrollbars-vertical" is ignored by IE and other browsers.

Similar to Bug 404830.
