Hi there. When using specifically FaceBook, whenever I click in the text box and start typing, the page suddenly scrolls down so the text input box is almost hidden. I have: Turned off all plugins/addons Tried in Trouble Shoot mode Tried in another browser (Edge) Everything works as expected in Edge - when typing, no matter where the input box is, the page does not scroll/move. When typing in FireFox, as soon as a button is pressed within the cursor in the text input box, the page will scroll down, almost obscuring the box, and it's very annoying as the page should not move when I type, it should stay where it is. So far, FaceBox seems to be the only affected page that I use. Any pointers gratefully received! Many thanks - Tim Windows 10 21H2 FireFox 97.0.1 (64-bit)

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Troubleshoot Mode start window

I've already tried in troubleshoot mode and the issue persists. (Issue is in a reply to a comment box, not with the larger, separate "create post" dialogue box, I didn't fully make that clear in my OP) Many thanks
