Chosen solution

If you hide the scrollbar with root{ scrollbar-width: none } then this hides all the scroll bars and you can't differentiate. Styling scrollbars with userChrome.css has its limitations because this requires the highest priority level (AUTHOR_SHEET) and userChrome.css is lower priority (USER_SHEET).

This code in userContent.css should hide the horizontal scroll bar on web pages. You may have to place this code also in userChrome.css 

* {overflow-x: hidden !important;}

Is that about the horizontal scroll bar on web pages as that would be an overflow-x: hidden !important; rule in userContent.css ?
