Why can't I see the vertical scrollbar after setting the css overflow property to auto?

I can't get the scrollbar to show up after setting overflow to auto. I can find the scrollbar and use it if I "guess" where it should be and scroll down as if I were seeing it. All other browsers are showing the scrollbar and firefox will behave correctly with all other overflow values. So basically, the scrollbar is there but it is invisible in firefox for some reason.

There is a link in the More system details list (http://www.ransomemultimedia.com)

You don't give Firefox much room for a scroll bar with a height:18px.
So you probably won't see much if Firefox did add a scroll bar.
The DIV #footer can also use a style clear:both
