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.
