Works here too. This was reported on Firefox 60, is there any chance you could test at least the next ESR (Firefox 68?)

Sorry, I cannot test on Firefox 68 due to my corporately managed set-up.

Ok, just tested locally in 60 and I could repro. The page is adding a bunch of content to the top on load, so what happens is that we scroll to the section, and then the content moves.

This was fixed by scroll anchoring, which is bug 1305957, and should be on the next ESR (it works on 68).

I don't think we'll uplift that work to ESR60 at this point unfortunately, so updating to the next ESR is what would fix it for you. The website could also fix it, by injecting its content earlier (it's a bid of bad authoring in this case).
