I can confirm it, but I don't know if it is related, I have this error in JS
Console :

Error: Error in parsing value for property 'float'.  Declaration dropped.
Source File: http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/
Line: 129

Line 129 is contained in this rule :

.cedrick form
			{
 					float: middle;
			    border: 0;
					vertical-align: middle;
			}

And float:middle is line 129.

Using Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.9a1)
Gecko/20050824 Firefox/1.6a1

It works in Safari 412.2.2 the one from Tiger 10.4.2

The page has the following style rule:
HTML
{
	OVERFLOW-Y: hidden;
	OVERFLOW-X: auto;
}

Which I think means it shouldn't display a vertical scrollbar.

It also has overflow-y: auto on the body which I guess they are intending should
make hte body scrollable. But they have fixed the body height to 100% which will
be the window height. I know that IE will ignore something like that and expand
the element accordingly. Firefox won't.

This (lack of scrollbar) appeared on the Firefox trunk somewhere between
2004-09-01 and 2004-09-15, most likely due to fixing Bug 72747 on 2004-09-04.

I wonder how many sites there are out there which assume only IE implements
overflow-y, and therefore rely on other IE quircks to get the scrollbar anyway.

So this is a website trying to work from bad html.
