facebook jumps around
Is anyone having issues with Facebook scrolling and jumping through posts when you don't even have your hand on the mouse?

Thank you all for commenting on this issue...let's hope we don't have any more.

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.

Now that this problem has been resolved, since everyone blamed it on Apple, can we all give a collective thanks to Apple for fixing it? 😄
who did fix it? FB or Apple? Who caused it? FB or Apple?
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?

Sadly, I doubt it would have helped.
update: it was fixed for a while, but now is happening again. February 8. Anyone else seeing a repeat. ? Who fixed it before? Apple or FB?
i think FB fixed it last time circa January 17, 2023. Anyone know? But yes, that's exactly what is happening AGAIN!
