It's not only Facebook that scrolls erratically. This support page is doing it too, even though the page is formatted differently!

You may have switched on caret browsing. You can toggle caret browsing off/on by pressing F7 (Mac: fn + F7).

  • Settings -> General -> Browsing
    remove checkmark: [ ] "Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages"

Note that this is a Firefox accessibility feature.

I checked my Settings => General => Browsing, and the "Always use the cursor keys" was already unchecked.
