Firefox scroll bar

I've noticed a little problem when viewing my site: Different pages or posts appear to have different widths. This is kind of impossible because I wrote my template by hand, and I made all the pages and posts look pretty much the same. So I searched to see if anybody else had the problem. The answer is yes. The problem is that Firefox doesn't have a vertical scroll bar unless there's content that extends past the bottom of the browser window. This sounds good, except that it causes the problem that I just mentioned. This site says to use html {overflow-y: scroll;} in the style sheet. It also recommends a couple other similar solutions, none of which I tried because the first one worked. This problem doesn't occur in Internet Explorer or Opera because the vertical scroll bar is always displayed, though it's grayed-out when not needed. This solution displays a grayed-out scroll bar, whether there's content past the bottom of the window or not. #technology
