Steps to reproduce:

See this comment:

The issue is that when NYTimes.com is shown in a window with height ~900 pixels or more, an extra header appears that does not seem to be handled by the extant heuristics for fixing page-down scrolling.  I can reproduce with this article:

You can see the difference in site appearance with/without the toolbar in these two attachments:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1224307#c9 (without extra toolbar)
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1224307#c10 (with extra toolbar)

Bug 830479 may also be relevant.

Looked at the page structure in inspector, nothing obvious jumped out at me.

I can't seem to reproduce this anymore. Perhaps the page has changed? Can anyone else reproduce?
