Why does my screen scroll to the bottom automatically after I've entered a new website on a new tab?

When I'm on a website and click onto information or another site from this open window, a new tab is opened with the new info or website. However, while waiting for that site to load in the new tab, the site is automatically scrolled to the bottom before I can even read through it. Why is this happening and how can I stop it?

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
