My horizontal scroll bar went missing when I maximise the window. How do I fix them? I tried everything; such as auto hide the task bar. Even with this, I still can't see the horizontal scroll bar. I even tried the following and I still can't see the horizontal scroll bar.

1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste dom and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the dom.disable_window_open_feature.scrollbars preference to switch it from false to true. By choosing true, you disable sites from deciding whether there can be scrollbars on a window, and Firefox uses its standard behavior for the page.

If you want to always get other bars, here are the corresponding settings: 

   Menu Bar: dom.disable_window_open_feature.menubar
   Navigation Toolbar: dom.disable_window_open_feature.toolbar
   Bookmarks Toolbar: dom.disable_window_open_feature.personalbar

Please help.

One option is to click the middle mouse button in an empty area of the web page and use the mouse scroll.

Can you post a screen shot?

Taking a Screen shot; Windows > Start > search box > Snipping Tool. Save the picture(s) to your desktop. Now look at the Reply box below. Do you see the button under it that says Browse? Click it and then select the screen shot(s) from the desktop.

The page does not look like it needs a horizontal bar.

I loaded the page; https://uk.yahoo.com/

I saw nothing wrong. Why do you think there is a problem?

Hi, the page has vertical scroll bar; which I can scroll up and down. It does not have a horizontal scroll bar; the bar that allows me to scroll left to right.

I need horizontal scroll bar; the bar that allows to scroll left to right.

Hope this clears the question.

The uk.yahoo.com doesn't need an horizontal scroll bar when the Firefox window is wider than about 1140px and you screenshot shows a Firefox window that looks much wider.

You can check that by making the window smaller until you see the horizontal scroll bar appearing.
