bottom scrollbar is missing, how do I get it back?
I have a Toshiba Laptop with a 15 inch widescreen. The bottom horizontal scroll bar has disappeared. It reappears when I drag the screen about half an inch smaller horizontally, and disappears again when I make the screen full size. What can I do to get the scroll bar to be visible again?

It is possible that the screen is too high and that the scroll bar and the find bar and add-on bar fall off at the bottom.
- Use Restore or Maximize in the right-click context menu of the Taskbar icon to set focus to the Firefox application if you do not see the Firefox window.
- Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.
If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

Thank you, I adjusted the screen resolution lower and have the scroll bar back. I also found that when I zoom the text and the scroll bar is needed to view the page, it automatically shows up as well on most of the sites but not all.
Some websites use CSS code (overflow-x: hidden or overflow-y:hidden) to hide the scroll bar(s), but that is usually the vertical scroll bar.
