Skip,
This is almost certainly the Google Ads block at the top of this page. Comment that out for a test, redisplay the page and it will almost certainly squish down to the next widest thing on the page.
One way to spot these trouble spots is to widen the page as much as possible so the horizontal scroll bar disappears, then grab the right window edge and drag the window narrower. When the horizontal scroll bar pops up, look at the page and see what block/link/image has stopped adjusting itself to the changing window size. Then temporarily comment out or delete the suspect item and redisplay the page.
In some cases, there are things you can do to adjust this behavior. In other cases, such as an image of a certain size, you can't do much but at least you know who the culprit is.
In this case, it appears that the Google Ads block of four items is not coded to allow wrapping. A quick look at your page code shows that you have:
google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; google_ad_format = "728x90_as";
So the minimum width for this block is 728 pixels. Experiment with different values, especially try a percentage width and leave out the google_ad_format value if it won't take percentage values.

On the site all navigation is at the right hand edge of the screen. Only in Firefox does the right hand edge of the screen (navigation menus) move off screen requiring the use of scroll bars. This doesn't happen in IE, Opera or IE derivative browsers.
The page is at http://www.speechcomputing.com/node/390 for anyone to look at.
Why just Firefox? I've noticed this anytime the number of comments grows large.
Ideas how to fix it?
note that the site is as wide as longest link in comment, looks like link is not wrapped and sets the width on middle column. Not sure if that's the case but you can test that pretty easily.
