I wouldn't be so smug about the "inherent" security of Mozilla either. A flaw has been found in Windows versions of Mozilla and Firefox that allows malicious Web sites to run arbitrary code on the user's machine. If you haven't upgraded to Mozilla 1.7.1 or Firefox 0.9.2, now would be a good time.

This is off-topic, and I admit that I'm letting 1) my dislike of misinformation and 2) my bias towards Mozilla affect my post here, but I have to respond to this.
Making a big deal about a single flaw in a browser makes little sense, let alone the fact that the alternative in question has had and still has multitudes of similar flaws.
Not to mention that this "flaw" in Mozilla is actually caused by a problem in Windows that Microsoft SAID it fixed with SP!, but actually did not. So, the history goes something like, MS finds a flaw in a Windows command, which affects IE *and* Mozilla (and probably many others) and releases a "fix" for it in SP1. Since the flaw in the command was fixed, the part where Mozilla browsers use that command remained. Lo and behold, it turns out that the flaw WASN'T fixed and the problem remains in both Mozilla browsers AND IE (test it out <a href="http://www.mccanless.us/mozilla/mozilla_bugs.htm">here</a>). So, the Mozilla Foundations notices this and, within 24 hours, provides an updated version with a work-around of the problem. (Basically, disabling the rarely used functionality) Meanwhile, the flaw, which Microsoft "fixed" in SP1 remains fully alive and well in IE.

Don't get me wrong, no browser is 100% secure, and I fully recognize that there probably ARE real security flaws in Mozilla, just as there are in Opera and IE and Safari and so forth (to varying degrees of course). But this instance is not a flaw in Mozilla by any means.
And, as a side note, I use Mozilla and Firefox in Windows and haven't seen any scrollbar problems. Not that I don't believe you're seeing them, I'm just not sure that it's Mozilla in this case.
