How can I hide horizontal scroll bar?

Some websites use CSS code (overflow-x: hidden or overflow-y:hidden), that shows the horizontal scroll bar while the frame on the website is centered and only 800 pixels wide, but I really don't need my horizontal scroll bar to show up. So how can I hide it?

Thanks!

Anybody here? :(

If you use overflow: hidden then you shouldn't see a scroll bar (overflow:scroll does that).
If that doesn't work then try to add the !important; or use the code in Stylish or to userContent.css in the chrome folder.

Can you post a link to a web page where you want to hide the scroll bar?

So, what's up cor-el?

I'm not seeing a real problem with the horizontal scroll bar on the home page of that site.

The content in the center is a Flash object (right-click it) and you can't do anything with such an object if that is what you want to achieve.

Please note that if I zoom in the web page, the horizontal scroll bar shows up, then I cannot hide it! It causes me a lot of hassles! As I do not want to use any other browsers, I have no clue how to solve this problem... I will be grateful if you could help me with it please.

Sorry for causing you concern

You can create a bookmark with this JavaScript code set as the location:

javascript:void(document.body.style.setProperty('overflow','hidden','important'));

You will have to use the cursor keys to scroll the page (make sure that the Flash object doesn't have focus).
