While scrolling down my newsfeed on Facebook, the screen will start jumping up and down along my feed. It works fine for a few minutes, but after that, it becomes unreliable and skips along. It makes it difficult to find where I was and makes it hard to scroll to the next item on the page. This seems to specifically be a problem with Facebook.

This is a specific Facebook-Firefox problem that seems related to a script change on Facebook related to content autoloading. Testers say it affects Firefox as far back as version 78. However, I have not been able to trigger it myself.

There is a bug on file with Mozilla, but I'm not sure whether the specific interaction has been identified so it can be fixed by either Facebook or Mozilla.
