Scrolling fails intermittently

I am running Firefox version 131.0.1 on an Android Version 14 tablet and am experiencing an intermittent scrolling problem. We use the tablet to primarily read articles from our local newspaper online. About a third of the time, when we open a new page or article to read, we are unable to use the touchscreen or mouse to scroll down. When we try to do so, the page or article will immediately return back to the top of the page or article, when for example we remove our finger from the touchscreen, which prevents us from reading anything below what is shown from the top of the page or article.

Sometimes, but not always, we can restore the proper scrolling behavior by reloading the page or by opening and closing a particular article, but we don't have a reliable workaround.

Any ideas on how to fix this rather annoying problem? Many thanks in advance from my wife and myself for all suggestions.
