Hi,
Sometimes, a ogame-site shows up multiple scrollbars. The page is not viewable without an ogame-account, but I have had this problem before with some other sites. It happens most on pages with two frames (e.g. navi+content). The vertical scrollbars need to be moved by hand to see all the content of the page. It looks like there are several in-tab-views of the same page.
I have installed two plugins manipulating the web-pages the problem occures this time: FoxGame and Greasemonkey/OGame-Script, but they don't manipulate the other sites I saw the scrollbars some time ago.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Log in to ogame.de
2.klick around
3.maybe the multiple scrollbars appear
Actual Results:  
sometimes, the multiple scrollbars appear. 3 scrollbars on right, one on bottom (screen is large enough to display any of th sites without bottom scrollbar.

Expected Results:  
one scrollbar on the right, none on bottom

URL loads as blank page for me.

Stefan, can you try with a new firefox profile please?

The url is blank because one can only enter the server if logged in at http://ogame.de (or other ogame-portals in other languages)

I tried it with a new blank profile, and with my normal and could not reproduce it... 
Today I noticed that my tabbrowser preferences add-on was broken (a red message in Options-dialog). So I reinstalled it. could that be the reason for the annormal behaviour?

It sure could have; extensions can fail in many weird and wonderful ways. But that's not to say the problem is definitely due to TBP. If you don't see the bug for a week or so, could you please resolve this bug as WORKSFORME? Thanks!

okay, the scrollbars did not appear... and the site changed their underlaying code. I'll close it :-)
