overflow-y: scroll not working in Firefox and Edge

Question

I'm working on a website where I have a huge content, that I want to be scrollable. However, my code only works in Chrome and not in Firefox or Edge.

It seems to work when I set a fixed height for the #content like height: 200px; . But I want the content to always fill the rest of the screen height. The height of the header can change when I have a smaller screen, so CSS calc wouldn't work out I think.

I could use javascript to calculate the height every time the screen size changes, but I would prefer a more elegant way without js. (If there is one)

 html, body { height: 100%; } body { margin: 0px; } #container { width: 100%; height: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: column; overflow-y: hidden; } #header { background-color: blue; min-height: 50px; height: 50px; } #content-container { flex: 1 1 auto; display: flex; align-items: stretch; } #nav { background-color: red; width: 150px; min-width: 150px; } #content { font-size: 15px; padding: 25px; overflow-y: scroll; } 

 <div id="container"> <div id="header"></div> <div id="content-container"> <div id="nav"></div> <div id="content">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In ut dui id mauris pharetra auctor eu sit amet ante. Nunc sodales nisl quis purus lacinia fringilla. Mauris mollis sit amet metus et volutpat. Cras non ante lectus.
