I run my browser at about 900 pixels wide, which I can't imagine is that uncommon. I don't have a problem with any websites running with this width except one,
Mint.com.
You hit the first horizontal scrollbar road block right away. I can't login without horizontal scrolling. You might argue that I can see enough of the password field to use it, then hit the enter key which will log me in and you would be right.

However, web browsing is typically an exercise with using the mouse, not the keyboard, my hands aren't on the keyboard. What is not seen in this screen shot is how Firefox remembers my name and password and auto fills it in. If the login button was visible, I could just click it and be in. But no, I have to muck with the damn scroll bar at the bottom of the browser, then go back to the top to the login button.
After getting past this hurdle I hit the second horizontal scrolling roadblock. The main
mint.com interface is in no way fluid and space filling. It pretty much forces you do make your browser wider. Fortunately for them their service is good enough that I deal with this frustration.
