I cannot scroll when i open a new window from within an open window...for example: I log into a forum and use a keyword tool, It opens a Google serp that normally I can scroll...but FF will not let it scroll... duplicating with Chrome open alongside it scrolls perfectly.. I did notice that FF does not show the scroll bar on the rt side when this happens, (Chrome does).

I have tried running in safe mode, going through some config suggestions..though they were probably outdated...this happens in  other similar situations...

when it does happen..FF does not display the scroll bar...yet Chrome will

I use macbook os 10.6.8

This is not intermittent...

Did you previously use that forum successfully in an earlier version of Firefox, or is this your first time using Firefox with that forum? (Trying to figure out if this is a new, upgrade-related issue.)

I do think I've seen a similar "missing vertical scrollbar" issue in another thread, but I can't find it.

Some pop-up windows turn off scroll bars. You can block them from doing that by changing a setting in Firefox's about:config preferences editor.

(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 filter box, type or paste scrollbar and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click dom.disable_window_open_feature.scrollbars to flip it to true.

If you pop up the window again, does it make any difference? If not, there might be something about the code of the page that is not working right on Firefox. Hard to know without seeing it first-hand.

Try to remove the Firefox plist file (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).

Go to "~/Library/Preferences" and remove the plist file for Firefox (org.mozilla.firefox.plist)

I have this same issue, and changing the preference (dom.disable_window_open_feature.scrollbars) and flipping it to true did help. However, I'm the developer of the popup, how can I make firefox scrollable for users of my site?
