Turns out that the bug was caused by the Bookmarks scrollbar 1.05 extension
(https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2600/)

Also using Bookmarks Scrollbar 1.0.5; however, tabs are allowed 2 rows. The 2nd row covers almost 1/2 of the 1st row.  Haven't yet tried removing the extension to see if it changes things since I seldom reach a 2nd tab row.  If the extension is the cause hopefully the author will soon have it corrected -- although it's been 5 months since reported here.

Without a solution from Bookmarks Scrollbar, would suggest the following
as a bypass with coding for userChrome.css instead of the extension,  
Add vertical scrollbars to:
 Menu      http://userstyles.org/style/show/52
 Context   http://userstyles.org/style/show/54 
 Bookmarks http://userstyles.org/style/show/56
