Is anyone having issues with Facebook scrolling and jumping through posts when you don't even have your hand on the mouse?
MacBook Pro
Yes. Facebook has become unusable for me on the Mac. If you're in the general timeline feed (House icon towards the top left), FB spews out ad after ad without you doing anything.
I timed it twice, and both times FB barfed up ads for 30 seconds straight before it finally stopped. By then, an article I actually wanted to read had been pushed up and off the top of the list. I couldn't even get back to it.
I did check my settings and had every possible ad control set to never show ads (as much as you can turn off). Made no difference.
This doesn't happen if I'm on my iPad using Facebook's dedicated app.
Edit: Per some of other comments here, it seems to be directly related to the current version of Safari and Ventura. If I use Firefox (same OS), no problem.
Good question, cannot locate anything on Apple's site to send them this issue. I would think we should be able to send all these replies to them. I did send something to FB, not that I think it is there problem, but heard that wouldn't do any good.

and do you have a realistic link that will get to facebook, where they will actually look at it?
Why would they? You are their product, not their customer. They exist to harvest your data and use it to sell advertising.
I just cleared my history yesterday and fb said they had deleted my fb...I got it back but afraid after jumping through all the hoops my new fb will disappear...I got hacked really bad a few months ago and created a new one...and having the same problems as you guys....skipping all over the place....I haven't seen this problem brought up in the media anywhere but it seems so widespread.

Well, Apple hasn't released any updates and people were also having the same problem (although to a lesser extent) with other browsers. So, what does that suggest?
Maybe I should have used the little devil emoji instead. 😈
I do not know who fixed it...but what I am having problems with recently, if I "like, or laugh," etc on someone's post, it jumps up to maybe 6-8 posts above it. Also, if I click on a post with numerous pictures and when I am done, trying clicking on the "X" it just goes back to another picture, sometimes I refresh and it works other times I have to click on Facebook again. This is getting ridiculous.
I'm still using Monterey so it's more than just the version. Will see how long it takes Apple to correct the issue.
Tried my iPad and it is fine…just doesn’t work on my desktop Mac….maddening.
My email runs doesn't care what browser I'm using. I use my taskbar to switch between Chrome and Safari with ease. I'm not much of a tech guy but it works for me.
Agree not a Facebook issue but safari, when is Apple going to start paying attention to their customers. I have a few window computers and ready to start using them again.
Yes, updated to newest ios on ipad last night. Started this morning. Not just scolling itself but jumping back and forth. Really annoying and can't figure out how to fix it.
Definitely an Apple problem....
Me too
Yes, its incredibly annoying. Did you find a solution?
same problem, have tried all the suggestions made on line but none of them are working..... started last night....
practically unusable.....
My MacBookAir is doing the same thing with Safari....I'm not sure how to fix it...
facebook jumps around
