I tested this with a new profile but saw no problem.
Any specific site?

OK, the bug is resolved, now the scrollbar does appear.
But a few minutes, there was no scrollbar...

Please reopen with more specific steps to reproduce if you see it again.

I just downloaded 3.6b1 and it still has this bug.
On some pages no horizontal scroll bar appears, even though the content is wider than the screen.

e.g. go here:
http://www.spacefellowship.com/Forum/forum-23.html

and 'zoom in' to make the text bigger. 

This <b>may</b> have something to do with the use of <table>

you can see a similar affect here:

I see indeed that all three examples don't have a horizontal scrollbar.
It is not clear if the problems are related.

OK, I see now that it was not the original reporter who placed comment 4, so closing this but again. Sorry for the spam.

Look at the CSS Codes ;)
http://www.spacefellowship.com/Forum/forum-23.html :
overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical;

http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/ :
overflow: hidden;

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f8/en_US/ap-admin-options.html#tb-installmethods :
overflow: hidden;
