Highlighting on Firefox app snapps to top of page

Whenever I start highlighting something in the Firefox app for Android, the highlight segment always snapps to the top of the page. It doesn't matter if I'm using the front or end of the highlighter, unless I am extremely careful and only want to highlight one or two words, it will always jump to the top of the page and highlight everything inbetween.

As you can understand, this is highly frustrating.

This seems to happen regardless of if I have extensions installed or not.

Hi

What is the address of the website where this is happening?

It is not on any one website. I've had it happen on forum sites and wikis, the sites I most frequent on my phone, but it appears to happen on any site.

However, from my own experience, there needs to be about 500 to 1000 words on the page for it to start happening.

If there are only small segments to text, such as here for instance, it doesn't appear to happen.
