HTML Footer floating slightly above bottom of page at certain resolutions

I'm trying to get my website ready for a collage interview, and it's almost finished, but I cannot work out why my footer is floating above the bottom of my page if the size of the windows is above a certain size.

I'll include the HTML and CSS used here:

HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Finn Llewellyn</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="CSS/style.css">
    </head>
    <body>
        <header id="myHeader">
            <div class="container">
                <h1>Finn Llewellyn</h1>
            </div>
        </header>

        <nav id="navbar">
            <div class="container">
                <ul>
                    <li><a class="button" href="#">Contact</a></li>
                    <li><a class="button" href="#">Projects</a></li>
                    <li><a class="button" href="#">Cool Things</a></li>
                    <li>Note: These don't do anyting yet lol</li>
                </ul>
            </div>
        </nav>

        <section id="showcase">
            <div class="container">
                <h1>Computers are cool lol</h1>
                <h2>That's why this site is awful on mobile</h2>
            </div>
        </section>

        <div class="container">
            <section id="main">
                <h1>About Me</h1>
                <p>
                    My name is Finn Llewellyn. I'm a tech enthusiast that has been following PC and mobile hardware for a while. I know far too much about computers, how they work, and 
                    which spec components will best suit a specific use case. I also like to think I'm alright at diagnosing and solving technical issues. Staying
                    true to my other geeky attributes, I'm fluent in python, which is quite useful I suppose, although it would potentially be more useful to learn
                    a real, spoken language, like Spanish. Hopefully i can scrape a good GCSE in it, along with my Maths, English, Double Science, Computer Science,
                    Resistant Materials and History GCSEs. Especially Maths, Scince and Computer Scinece, as I wish to continue these subjects at A-Level, or maybe a 
                    B-Tech in softwar/app development.
                </p>
            </section>
            <aside id="sidebar">
                <h1>Cool Things</h1>
                <ol>
                    <li>Star Wars</li>
                    <li>Half-Life series</li>
                    <li>DOOM</li>
                    <li>Radiohead</li>
                    <li>Blur</li>
                    <li>R.E.M</li>
                    <li>YouTube</li>
                    <li>AMD Ryzen CPUs</li>
                    <li>Other geeky stuff</li>
                </ol>
            </aside>
        </div>

        <div id="mainFooter">
            <p>This footer is just here to look nice</p>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

CSS:

html,body{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    overflow-x: hidden; 
}

body{
    background-color: white;
    color: rgb(85, 85, 85);
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 16px;
    line-height: 1.6em;
    margin: 0;
}

.clr{
    clear: both;
}

.container{
    width: 80%;
    margin: auto;
    overflow: hidden;
}

#navbar .container{
    margin: 0;
}

.button{
    background-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);
    color: white;    
}

.button:hover{
    background-color: green;
}

#myHeader{
    background-color: green;
    color: white;
}

#myHeader .container{
    width: 90%;
}

#navbar{
    background-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);
    color: white;

}

#navbar ul{
    padding: 0;
    list-style: none;
}

#navbar li{
    display: inline;
}

#navbar a{
    color: white;
    text-decoration: none;
    font-size: 18px;
    padding: 15px;

}

#showcase{
    background-image: url("../Images/showcase.jpg");
    background-position: center right;
    background-size: 100% 100%;
    color: white;
    min-height: 300px;
    margin-bottom: 30px;
    text-align: center;
}

#showcase h1{
    color: white;
    font-size: 50px;
    line-height: 1.6em;
    padding-top: 30px;
}

#main{
    float: left;
    width: 70%;
    padding:0 30px;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

#sidebar{
    float: right;
    width: 30%;
    background: rgb(51, 51, 51);
    color: white;
    padding:0 30px;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

#mainFooter{
    background: rgb(51, 51, 51);
    color: white;
    text-align: center;
    padding: 20px;
    margin-top: 40px;
}

@media(max-width: 600px){

    #main{
        width: 100%;
        float: none;
    }

    #sidebar{
        width: 100%;
        float: none;
    }
}

I've already tried adding position: absolute;, width: 100%; and bottom: 0; to the footer class, but it would cover content if it reached that far down the page.

I would appreciate absolutely any help.
