My younger sister logged onto Facebook, and now I can't get off! Facebook's pages are too wide for Firefox, and usually there's a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the screen, along with the vertical one on the right of the screen. The horizontal one is gone! I cannot access the 'log off' button on Facebook, or anything further right of the page, for that matter. Firefox being my choice above Safari, and (UGH!) Explorer, this is QUITE frustrating, to say the least.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

The horizontal scroll bar is present on some sites, eg on mozilla.com, but, although I've tried the Reset option repeatedly, on Facebook it doesn't appear even when I resize the window. I'm using 5.01. This may be a fault with Facebook (I'm on Win7)

Some websites use CSS code (overflow-x:hidden; overflow-y:hidden) to hide the scroll bars.
