Well, if you zoom in too far, the text does not fit in the box any more,
so you get the horizontal scrollbar - that happened to me with the
second box on your page when I zoomed in as far as it would let me (with
Ctl +). If the text fits in the box (e.g. if I step back one zoom step
with Ctl -), there is no scrollbar: there is a perfectly well-defined
pink border - no ugliness that I can see.

I also can't see any ugliness on the worg page you mention: I get
horizontal scrollbars if I zoom in too far, but they disappear
completely if I step back (e.g. the org-store-link.js example contains a
very long line, so it does not take much zooming to make it too big to
fit.)

This is ff 3.0.10 on Ubuntu 8.04.
