Able to reproduce on Mac with Firegox 85.0.2 and latest 5.7 trunk version WHEN changing "System Preferences > General > Show scroll bars" to "Always".

- Version trunk
After testing with @peterwilsoncc @audrasjb and @davidbaumwald, discovered:
- Can reproduce on Mac and Windows
- Happens in latest version of 5.7
trunkas well as in 5.6.1
As Peter notes
I am seeing it on 5.6.1 on my site, so not a 5.7 regression.
Removing trunk as the version.
As 5.7 RC1 is tomorrow, there's no patch, and not a 5.7 regression, moving it to a Future Release.

I believe this is a 5.6 regression. Testing with Windows/Firefox 85.0.2, I can see a horizontal scrollbar with WP 5.7, which wasn't there with WP 5.6 (screenshot above).

Not a solution in the true sense, but this workaround (setting Firefox to use overlay scrollbars) seems to do the trick for me (on Windows 10): head over to about:config and add ui.useOverlayScrollbars with a (number) value of 1.

One downside is that sites with, e.g., overflow-y: scroll may have the scrollbar(s) move in front (and thus partially cover) certain page elements. (Chrome doesn’t do this.)
A potential actual fix would be to detect the presence of a vertical scrollbar and set an appropriate margin on the sidebar's child elements, in Firefox only, which seems super risky and not very future proof.

Firefox gave me the horizontal scrollbar for document settings as recently as WordPress 6.2, but not in 6.3 or 6.6. I'll close the ticket, but please find or open an issue on the Gutenberg GitHub Repository if you still experience the scrollbar.
