This is most notable when I am browsing the comments section for newspapers. When I click "Recommend" or "Like" the window scrolls up on its own to the top, which is very annoying. I'd like to keep reading from where I was and still be able to click "Recommend" or "Like"

You can press press F7 (on Mac: fn + F7) to toggle caret browsing on/off.

Start Firefox in Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
