Bug Description
On a newly installed 8.10 with a fairly large screen (1680x1050), the default window size in Firefox is too narrow to accommodate the contents of http://
IMNSHO the site should be redesigned to render without a horizontal scroll bar when viewed in the default browser out of the box.
Edit: horizontal, not vertical

It seems to me that virtually every website I ever visit has a vertical scroll bar. The only exception I can think of is google. I don't understand what "grave usability problem" this presents. My default and max resolution is 1024x768 (a small screen i know). I find horizontal scroll bars quite annoying especially if it means having both a vertical and horizontal scroll bar. If there were not vertical scroll bars on websites I would have to click through to new pages much much more often.
Could you please explain further why this is a problem for you?
For now I am marking this as incomplete as it is not immediately clear why it is an issue.
