When I scroll to the top of a webpage Firefox will not stop there. I goes past the top of the webpage and shows a white square to the left and a grey bar to the left, then it bounces back down to the top of the page. I want Firefox to just go to the top of the page and stop the way it used to do.

Hello BK_Malik, Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.

(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)

  • On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  • Or open the Help menu and click on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item while Firefox is running.

Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode" Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article for that.

To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.

check if is the Yet Another Smooth Scrolling add-on, just a guess !

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.

Thank you.
