Firefox scrolling jumps in Facebook

zdvaz — Wed, 03 Aug 2022 22:50:25 GMT

When scrolling posts on Facebook, there are random jumps up to 6 new posts forward. It is necessary to scroll back and look for the last displayed post (photo, video, txt). It looks like firefox doesn't remember the last displayed position before updating the cache. It is very annoying because there is always a flicker.

I also have this problem and it has been occurring for several days now. My solution is to open Facebook in a different browser. I hate this. Totally ruins the experience. I have had a few pages crash while on Amazon.com as well.

This needs to fixed, ASAP.

I'm having this problem on facebork also..It's driving me a bit goofy...Currently using version 102.0.1. I've tried to downgrade to an earlier version but firefox just gives me a message saying that my profile might get corrupted or somethin like that if I don't create a new one...spose I coulda created a blank profile and tested it *shrug*

Jmanb13 — Sun, 24 Jul 2022 01:42:12 GMT

This happens to me as well. The problem happens when facebook dynamically loads more posts when you get near the bottom of the page. It appears that the firefox page scroll attempts to keep you at whatever % of the page you are currently on (example 90% to the bottom) rather than wherever on the page you currently are. When facebook loads more posts firefox drops you to 90% of the page again and then facebook loads more posts, then firefox puts you at 90% of the page again. It repeats until you do a very fast scroll up to get you away from the bottom of the page and stop facebook loading more posts.

It did NOT previously do this, so it was a change in a recent version of firefox. It does not happen in Chrome or Edge, only Firefox. I assume something was changed in scroll behavior recently.

I believe this is a problem Firefox developers need to fix. I reported it formally a couple of weeks ago. It can't be that hard to fix so what's the holdup?

Re: Firefox 101.0.1 64bit mint-001-1.0 in facebook

ajawamnet — Mon, 25 Jul 2022 00:03:45 GMT

Yes - there is an issue with Firefox on sites like Facebook that do look-ahead buffering of the page. Once the buffer gets to a certain point it begins the wild-ass scrolling. This needs fixed. Hell, Firefox has issue with it's own forum doing silly page reloads. Not cool...

Re: Firefox 101.0.1 64bit mint-001-1.0 in facebook

DV2FOX — Mon, 25 Jul 2022 04:45:48 GMT

Same situation. Once i reach out a certain point in FB FF or FB itself likes to do some fast skipping and without touching the mouse nor anything! (Obviously we're talking about the PC version)

102.0.1 and it started happening early this week (Unlike some from the starting post)

It's probably not FF but FB but who knows. However HOPEFULLY THIS GETS SOLVED SOON....

Re: Firefox 101.0.1 64bit mint-001-1.0 in facebook

hmkabaker — Mon, 25 Jul 2022 20:33:58 GMT

Me too in v 102.0.1 I reported this to FB, but now I see it happens in another site as well. The new material should be buffered instead of triggering the scroll.

Does it make any difference if you switch off scroll anchoring? Here's how you can test that:

(A) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

More info on about:config: Configuration Editor for Firefox. Please keep in mind that changes made through this back door aren't fully supported and aren't guaranteed to continue working in the future.

(B) In the search box in the page, type or paste layout.css.scroll-anchoring.enabled and pause while the list is filtered

(C) Double-click the preference to switch the value from true to false

(That isn't a new feature, but maybe its behavior has changed somewhat.)

Re: Firefox 101.0.1 64bit mint-001-1.0 in facebook

hmkabaker — Tue, 26 Jul 2022 13:19:12 GMT

I added a couple of steps to this.
1. Changed it to false, quit FF, relaunched FF and verified the behavior did not change.
2. Changed it to true, quit FF, relaunched and scrolled. Eventually, the autoscroll behavior reappeared, but it seemed to work OK for awhile. Admittedly, hard to be sure.

But this suggests the 101 or 102 update broke parameter-checking; the fix may be to check scroll-anchoring.enabled after loading new material, before re-enabling screen display. Just guessing.

Re: Firefox 101.0.1 64bit mint-001-1.0 in facebook

hmkabaker — Tue, 26 Jul 2022 13:23:58 GMT

Another thought: Maybe it happens at the first buffer-full event; instead of returning control to the user, it goes back for more, breaking buffer control. Just a guess.

This has been happening to me to and it is irritating. I can scroll halfway down the page, and then it starts jumping from one post to the next with out me scrolling, and it just keeps going. I have to use Chrome or Edge now to look at Facebook. This new version sucks.

Some people have tested this in older versions as far back as Firefox 78 and they still got the problem. So it seems that there is a more general incompatibility between Firefox and the updated technique Facebook scripts are using to autoload new content.

That said, I have not figured out how to trigger the problem on my news feed ("home page"). Does it occur more on other pages?

For reference, the two methods I use for scrolling are:

Using the mouse wheel, with the mouse pointer positioned over the center column (doesn't work when it's positioned over the messenger/chat list)
Using the j keyboard shortcut (the "next story" shortcut)

(I can't be bother to move the mouse all the way over to the scroll bar.)

phoenixfire870 — Wed, 27 Jul 2022 05:40:29 GMT

It only happens on my computer and my Kindle, but not my Phone. I use a mouse wheel to scroll, and as soon as I move my cursor down to the bottom of a page after scrolling maybe a third of the way down the page, it will start reloading and reloading and reloading without stopping. I can't stop it by clicking on the scroll bar.

@Piesang: Even though i've had 103 for a couple of days (Stable version btw) it still had the issue.

The issue must've come from FB itself because right now, for now, it has been solved...

Re: Firefox 101.0.1 64bit mint-001-1.0 in facebook

hmkabaker — Wed, 27 Jul 2022 13:48:14 GMT

In v 103 an improvement, but it does not completely resolve the issue. Screen flickers, but the feed doesn't scroll the way it did. Sometimes it refocuses on the same topic, but often the feed jumps down a bit, maybe one to three items. BTW, I'm using the finger-scroll action on a magic mouse, FWIW. Don't know whether adjusting the speed of the mouse action would help.

Re: Firefox 101.0.1 64bit mint-001-1.0 in facebook

lexdorf — Wed, 27 Jul 2022 14:19:30 GMT

I noticed that when left clicking on the screen to activate the scroll by mouse button it reloads even more rapidly and further. Finally, it has to be a Mozilla/FB problem because it doesn't happen when scrolling through twitter.

I've been having the same issue and thought it was a Facebook problem and reported it to them. A friend had also posted about having the same issue, but I didn't think to ask what browser she was using. I have not tried other browsers. I've noticed that the farther down the feed I scroll, the worse the jumping is. There was actually a day or two that I thought the problem seemed to not be as bad, but then it got even worse. I'm sure it happens when Facebook loads more posts at the bottom of the feed. I've not been on Facebook much today - yet - so I don't know what it's doing under FF 103.

I believe there have been two Firefox updates since I, and others reported what I call the random "Jump Scrolling" on Facebook. The problem remains. Mozilla Firefox has long been my default browser, but for the past couple weeks, I have opened Facebook in MS Edge. This needs to be fixed.

Hi George, there is a bug on file about this. Not sure whether the resolution will involve Mozilla asking Facebook to change their content autoloading script, or a fix in a future version of Firefox (unfortunately versions as far back as 78 are affected by the problem).

Re: Firefox scrolling jumps in Facebook

ajp1228 — Fri, 05 Aug 2022 03:16:16 GMT

I was on Facebook for a little while this afternoon and can confirm that it was not fixed. Again, it seems to have something to do with all of the pictures, and the longer I scroll the worse it seems to get. Also, when I'm reviewing the "notifications" using the sidebar on the right, the text notifications also load dynamically but there is no scrolling issue with them. It's only in the main news feed - where there are pictures. And the pictures are usually taller than my laptop screen.

This could be an important clue, and could explain why I haven't been able to reproduce it on a high res monitor (pictures generally aren't that tall on my screen). That said, I would expect it to stop fairly quickly when it scrolls to a textual comment. ??

Re: Firefox scrolling jumps in Facebook

ajp1228 — Fri, 05 Aug 2022 21:59:07 GMT

It only jumps every so often, probably when new posts are loaded at the bottom of the screen. Facebook loads a certain number of posts, and then when we get near the bottom of the screen, the dynamic loading automatically loads several more posts and, of course, adjusts the browser scroll bar accordingly. Since most posts contain images - either photos or previews of links - I can't say for sure that it would happen on an all-text screen. But I am guessing that it has something to do with all of the photos, since it always seems to do it when the next post contains a picture and it doesn't do it when loading the comments on the right sidebar.

My laptop is set at full resolution, but it's only a 15.6" display. Therefore, I have the DPI and text settings in Windows very large so I can see the icons and interfaces in Windows and the text in all programs. Perhaps if you temporarily increased the "make everything bigger" setting in Windows, you would then have the FB photos slightly taller than your monitor screen and perhaps reproduce the problem then. It does take some time for the issue to appear, however. The more I scroll, the worse the problem gets, although it seems worse some days than others. I'm thinking that perhaps there are some kind of "buffers" which may get filled up as we continue to scroll????

In the past, I've occasionally noticed a problem when pictures stop loading. When it does that, I usually need to close the browser and reopen it (which clears the cache, I think) and it fixes the problem. This also is only on Facebook; other sites still work fine regardless of whether Facebook is open in another tab or not. But closing and reopening only the FB tab doesn't help; I have to close and reopen the entire browser. I don't believe I've had this happen since the jump-scroll issue began, but it's not something which happened every day, so I hadn't thought about that until just now.

ajaw — Fri, 05 Aug 2022 22:30:33 GMT

Same problem on Linux: 103.0.2 (64-bit), Ubuntu snap install.

For me, when the scrollbar is about to reach the bottom of screen, the posts simply keep on auto-scrolling up 2-3 at a time. If I manually drag the scrollbar thumb back to half of the screen, everything goes back to normal for some time - but it starts again when scrollbar thumb reaches near the bottom of the screen.

Also, none of the about:config changes suggested here and elsewhere have worked so far. Also, disabling the "Enhanced Protection" for facebook.com has no effect.

Updated to 104. yesterday and Facebook still has the auto scroll problem. My other browsers (Explorer, Edge, Palemoon, and Chrome) have zero problems with Facebook. So I would have to say it is a Firefox problem. This problem has been going on for too long. I just wished someone fixes this problem.

Developers are working on this, but haven't found a fix for it yet.

Firefox issues with FACEBOOK.COM

vee — Sat, 27 Aug 2022 11:21:44 GMT

hello,

There seems to be an annoying SCROLLING issue with the FACEBOOK.COM web page.
It has been around a while (version 104.0 of FF here)

Google says this scrolling issue is in several browsers and is BROWSER CODING ISSUE with java script.........they mentions quik fixes like changing Facebook Font sizes..

Still,

as i gently scroll down facebook.com when logged in.......it will suddently SKIP POSTS and jitter.

THis jitter is very annoying indeed........

TRue, i have some of the FLAGS set in the config of FIREFOX and it could be some issue with those flags.....?

It could also be particular extensions of mine( in no particular order) which may be affecting things.....?

Sadly FF does not seem to offer a ------RESET TO DEFAULTS for "one pass"----- feature...... If it did offer it, users could do testing during that PASS......after which, a user could then
1) Re-start FF once again with his previuos custom settings back intact.

The only web browser i found WITHOUT this Facebook.com skipping issue is the latest OPERA Version:90.0.4480.54......... and i do indeed use the very same extensions on OPERA that i use in FF.........
(so "extension issues" is unlikely to be the cause of the facebook skipping)

The questionable extensions of mine could be

1) Scrollanywhere
2) hide-scrollbars
3) and ADD BLOCKERS for youtube and twitch.

but i doubt it

The fact that FF do not seem aware of this facebook "scroll skipping issue" is embarrassing for them.

FB is one of the worlds largest web sites and FF is a "global web browser" so are millions sufferring this issue?

please look into this issue right away and if you discover it's your fault, then please sort this out right away.

i like millions of others wont use FF until this facebook issue is fixed.

Vince.

also with 104 the problem is here

Re: Firefox scrolling jumps in Facebook

StefanoCecere — Mon, 29 Aug 2022 07:06:31 GMT

it's at least 5 versions (since 99) that we have this scrolling problem with Facebook

for sure Facebook is changing a lot its code.

until this thread i didn0t find any other public discussion on the problem (i guessed it was jsut me or my FF addons)

let's hope some FF dev uses Facebook daily!

My current Firefox 104.0 (64-bit) version running on Ubuntu 22.?? won't even show the facebook pages. Nothing! Doesn't work with a something called nextdoor.co.uk I once used. Again a total no show after my Ubuntu upgraded to 22.?? and Firefox 103* then 104 came with.

Big upgrade... major faux pas for me.

Problem exists for long time. We're reporting it, bug still appears. Since devs doesn't even bother to say something, i see no point to waste time here any longer...

It started for me in FF 102, not too long before version 103 was released. Since there was no update right before the issue started, it's something that Facebook has done. I did not know it was happening in other browsers until reading these last couple of posts. Have you all reported it to Facebook? I've reported it twice. Please report it to Facebook if you haven't done so already, and consider reporting it again if it continues and you do not receive a response from FB help center. I believe Mozilla has a "bug report" open on this topic; however, it needs to be worked on from the Facebook side, also.

I reported it to Facebook and shared two videos of Facebook jumping like a spider on a hot frying pan with them. Did not hear back from anyone at Facebook. It made me dizzy just watching the videos.

ajp1228 — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 23:21:33 GMT

I didn't hear from FB, either; that's why I reported it again after learning more about the problem. I suggest we continue to report it to FB every few weeks, until someone finally fixes the issue.

Re: Firefox scrolling jumps in Facebook

MiaMcPherson — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 23:33:04 GMT

I'm using Edge until this issue is resolved. There has never been a time when I have reported issues to Facebook that they have responded. They simply don't seem to care.

just installed 104.0.1 and the problem seems fixed! (macos)

Re: Firefox scrolling jumps in Facebook

hmkabaker — Wed, 31 Aug 2022 22:26:27 GMT

Close. Almost. Still an occasional flicker/jump that skips over a couple of posts that you don't see unless you scroll back up. But the uncontrollable fast scrolling is gone. If you scroll v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y, it runs more smoothly.

Re: Firefox scrolling jumps in Facebook

MiaMcPherson — Wed, 31 Aug 2022 22:54:37 GMT

My FF updated. No resolution for me.

FACEBOOK SCROLLING ISSUES with latest firefox 64 bit windows builds

vee — Thu, 01 Sep 2022 14:42:52 GMT

Please fix........... FAcebook scrolling issues........ inside Firefox. FF ver 104.0.1
Sept 1, 2022

While scrolling facebook there are intermittent SKIPS and JITTERS of story's

Apparenty FF are NOT alone in the web browser world.......... when it comes to this bug.

Google mentions the bug exists in several web browsers......it's a very annoying BUG indeed.

You should check BEFOREHAND, any web sites that are in the TOP TEN global websites and not release any web browser that you can't get working perfect with those web sites.

It would NOT take much Facebook tinkering on FF to discover this bug..........so how much testing did you do?

citations online say a WORKAROUND is adjusting the web browsers font, ........but sometimes this works and sometimes not
( Facebook web page itself , does NOT allow any changes in Font)

i have my facebook wall feed set to update with CHRONOLOGICAL NEWEST TIMED posts first......not the "most popular posts" first.

please fix this bug ASAP........i believe it could be connected with javascript.....?

i have also experienced it on the latest CHromium browser......
.(it does not happen on the latest OPERA browser)

i can't continue using FF until this is fixed. (smooth scrolling is enabled but not AUTO scrolling)

i don't believe any of my FF flags (about:config) and interfering or any of my EXTENSIONS

i could CHECK by RESETTING FF to default, but how do i then REVERT that default and go
back to my old settings?

thanks
V
