There is no blue table. There is no scroll bar.

Not really. This is a bizarre little defect in FF (the gecko engine), an
off-by-one error caused, no doubt, by rounding to integer values. As the
viewport width is changed, that border changes size as well.
Your method to get such a border is rather unusual. Most people would
use the "border" property to define a border:
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
border-top: 1px solid blue;
border-right: 1px solid blue;
}
td {
background:white;
border-left: 1px solid blue;
border-bottom: 1px solid blue;
}
