Which history menu are you referring to?

There are four possible menus you may be describing:
1) The History subview on the menu panel (click on the three horizontal bars button, choose the History button)
2) The History menu (on Windows, press Alt+S to show it)
3) The History sidebar (on Windows, press Ctrl+H to show it)
4) The Library window (on Windows, press Ctrl+Shift+H to show it)

My guess is that this bug is related to #4, but that hasn't changed with Australis. If so, can you try using mozregression [1] to narrow down when this issue started happening for you?

Marking as P- until this bug is confirmed to be an Australis regression.

Or there shouldn't be any scroll bar while FF is maximized, no matter how big the history is ?

The lack of scrollbar is bug 963480.

If I reduce the resolution so that the scrollbar appears, the scrolling seems to work fine.
