Chris Coyier has a fantastic post about the css overflow property a little while ago: http://css-tricks.com/the-css-overflow-property/.

I know that overflow is helping cause the problem, but I *need* overflow:auto on this. Is a horizontal scrollbar supposed to be an unavoidable side effect?

I would file a bug report. It doesn't render that way on my version (for Windows).

Yeah, according to the CSS spec, auto should only show scroll bars when necessary.http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-box/#overflow1

I've just tested this on a windows and mac machine - both are fine, so it might be worth submitting a bug report to Mozilla

Could it be that your div happens to have width:100% and therefore overflows when you add border?

There shouldn't be scroll bars for overflow:auto unless the content is actually going beyond the edges of the containing element. This is a bug in Linux versions of Firefox. See the following bug report.
