If you are using a default footer file for your current template, you can upload catalog/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_footer.php to the folder of your current template to replace the tpl_footer.php file in your template's common folder.

Issues

Because of the embedded widget and cross domain issues, there may be two vertical scroll bars. I thought of creating a shim page to fix it, but this is still an ugly fix.
