My css background color doesn't stop, making the page long

When I view the site I'm working on using firefox for android, it looks OK if the site is viewed landscape. However, when the site is viewed portrait, the color defined in body {background: #185fa0;} continues on, making the page unnecessarily long. The image is an example, I would like the blue background to finish much closer to the content, like it does in every other browser. Can anyone advise?

Thank-you!

A screenshot is mostly useless when it comes to coding issues.

Does your code use overflow: hidden?

I can't use overflow: hidden as I want to be able to scroll down the page so that content can be seen. In firefox for android, there is loads of space under the content, which no other browser seems to have. So I thought it could be related to this bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=886969

That would be impossible as you are not using overflow:hidden. How about showing some actual code?
