Firefox jumps to top of page after I select a checkbox and search results refresh

Greetings, On cargurus website for example there are many filters which contain multiple checkboxes each. If I scroll down to a section and select a checkbox, the results refresh and takes me back to the top of the page. The problem is that sometimes I want to select more than one checkbox in a filter or choose checkboxes in the next filter to select a checkbox. When I search for cars I may end up selecting more than 10 filter checkboxes to get the results I want. If I have to scroll back down to where I left off each time, it takes a lot of time to run a query. This jumping to the top does not happen using Chrome, so there must be something in firefox that can be adjusted but I cannot find it. I only used Cargurus as an example, but it happens on all sites with checkboxes. Keep in mind I am not a programmer so I don't know how to add code to websites or firefox settings. Thank you, Mark Sufka

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out! Would you mind filing a compatibility bug report on WebCompat? That will let our team there look into the issue.

If you create a report, could you please also share the link here, so that we could keep an eye on it? If you are not comfortable enough with filing a report, just let us know (including the website's URL), and we'll do it for you.

Looking forward to your update!
