Remove vertical scrollbar completely in Firefox

Does anyone know how to do this?

I'm using Arch/Openbox in rc.xml I wrote:

<application name="firefox">
<position>
<x>0</x>
<y>0</y>
</position>
<decor>no</decor>
</application>

...which worked on short pages but when I go to a webpage that's longer than my screen the scrollbar re-appears. I'm assuming Firefox re-creates it, is there any setting or add-on I can use to disable it completely? I have a mouse with a weighted scrollwheel or just use the PageDown key.

maybe this could help:

http://userstyles.org/styles/8841

or you can use vimperator, it has an option to remove the scrollbars.

Re: Remove vertical scrollbar completely in Firefox

This works for me (I think I actually got it off of these forums a long time ago)

notificationbox {
    overflow-x: hidden;
}
browser[type="content-primary"], browser[type="content-targetable"] {
    overflow-y: scroll;
    margin-right: -15px;
}

put it in your userChrome.css.  You'll probably have to fiddle with the margin-right value to match your gtk skin and whatnot, but 15px is what works for me.
