Details

If you make an iframe and set its source to "chrome://'any xul file'", if the
content is too large scrollbars will not automatically appear.
They do appear if the content is staight HTML.

I don't think this is a duplicate bug as shown.  The problem is that with XUL
content, the content does not scroll, but with regular HTML content, it scrolls
no problem.  That is not a request for enhancement, I think its a genuine bug.
I disagree as well.  My request is for a XUL attribute which will allow a
programmer to manually turn on or off scrolling, not to automatically have
scrolling appear when it rightfully should (which is what this bug is).  These
are 2 clearly different problems, this being one which genuinely can make life hell.
Okay reopening.

By default XUL iframes do not have scrollbars. If you want them to scroll make a
CSS rule "overflow: auto" for yours.

But the IFRAME does get a scroll bar if the src is set to a straight HTML file,
so I don't think this is invalid.  
It seems silly to have different settings based on whether the content is HTML
or XUL.
