When I open with a recent Firefox the search popup on the index page, I get a scrollbar because the height is few pixels to short:

This is not the case for the view of any topic:

This seems to be a bug! 🐛

Kind regards!

Weird… I can’t recreate this on my sandbox, using latest Firefox (v43.0.4)

I can’t access Meta using Firefox at work, so I can’t fully test that, but it definitely isn’t a bug, more of a UX annoyance.

I can’t reproduce it here using Firefox 44 on Ubuntu Gnome 15.10.

I can - but, I _never_ browse this way

There’s got to be something going on that makes the browser think there’s less room than there is.
