Typing a comment in Facebook causes Firefox 100 to scroll up (the text moves down the page and out of sight)

This is a maddening bug! I know it started with the recent update to Firefox 100 because the behavior only started AFTER updating and I did not change ANY settings in Windows 10, let alone any related to the keyboard. Please fix this bug!!

I double-checked this setting for Backspace key navigation. Here's what I did:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste browser.backspace_action and pause while the list is filtered

When I did this I saw the value was set to 2 (do nothing) so something else is causing this bug!

I don't know the answer. A similar question was asked in the following link (the page scrolled to the bottom). https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1376656 FWIW, I can type a comment without any such issue.

I have an NVIDIA RTX card in case that matters!
