Go to https://play.google.com/store/games . Observe that there is a scrollbar for the top section even though there is no overflow (see screenshot attached, I added red arrows). The other sections below do have overflow, so the scrollbars presence in those sections makes sense, but not for the top. In Chrome, there is no scrollbar for that top section (see other attached screenshot).

Apologies if this is an issue with the website and not Firefox. A friend told me they suspect it's a Firefox issue because there is no overflow for that section

They're using:

.aoJE7e::-webkit-scrollbar {
    display: none;
}

body ::-webkit-scrollbar {
    height: 0;
    width: 0;
}

Instead they could use scrollbar-width: none in Firefox but they didn't bother.
