Q: MacbookPro has mind of its own

Wife has a 2011 MacbookPro.  Uses it primarily for web surfing (Facebook).  Has mentioned to me a number of times that while surfing, different pages seem to jut pop up or it opens a link when she does not choose that link.  I though she was imagining this, then I was using it on vacation to move some pictures around on her Facebook page and I found the same thing happening to me.  As I hovered over the trackpad, it was as if the Macbook sensed that I had planned to choose a link and that link would open, even though I touched nothing.  This AM, my wife was in the middle of reading a friend's post and as she was scrolling up to finish, another page opened.  Any ideas what would cause something like this to happen or what I should do (other than buy a new macbook) to help solve the problem?

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11), 3.4 GHz Core i7 16GB RAM
