I have an internal web app (DMS type app) which opens fine on chrome and IE. but on firefox vertical scrollbars disappear on normal usage... It's an word editor, after I open the editor and type some sentences, vertical scrollbar disappears, if I'm already at the bottom of the page, I cannot click the save button, so I reduce the page zoom to very very small (%30 or less), then I can click the Save button, after that I close the page, reopen, and scrollbar is there. I work in BT department, so it's not a single-computer issue, it's the same with every computer we have in our company (windows xp, 7 32 bit, 64 bit, win 8, linux mint, all the same) In some smaller version firefox installations, it works fine (ie. firefox 29)

Thank you

I am wondering if this is expected based on the config entries that came up when searching for scrollbar (see attached image)

Is the edit space in an iframe?

Yes edit space is an iframe. Those entries in about:config are all default. I also played with layout.scroll.root-frame-containers and no change. Sometimes the scrollbar appears at first then disappears after a few scrolls, and sometimes scrollbars are never displayed even at first opening the page (I mean edit page with iframe).
