Every website scrolls to the bottom on load

When I go to a website, the website scrolls down in medium speed until it reach the bottom, It does not allow me to scroll while this is happening. I have tried to refresh firefox, reinstall firefox and run with no addons. Autoscrolling is off. Caret Browsing is off. It also scrolls if I am active in another window.

This is most annoying on auto loading websites, because it scrolls down the site loads more content and the scrolling continues until the site stop loading new content.

This only happens on this device and not on my laptop (also Linux) that has the same plugins.

I have fixed it by installing another version of linux, I had other issues that may or may not be connected to this problem.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

You can try the Firefox version from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution.

The problem is still there after downloading firefox from mozilla directly and running it in safemode
