WSP-Firefox-Bug.PNG
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0
Steps to reproduce:
To reproduce this issue visit www.wsp.com in latest firefox browser; the website page loads and viewport stays in footer. Open same page in any other browser Chrome, Edge, Safari (mac) they stay on top during 1st load. I have attached screenshot of webpage footer area that is shown on page load - problem users are facing in firefox. Also, uploaded the demo video of issue on youtube - https://youtu.be/3dKmzBGu3_0
Actual results:
When www.wsp.com webpage is opened in firefox it scrolls down and stays in footer, user needs to scroll up to see the navigation section of page.
Expected results:
The site page should stay at top, it should not scroll down or stay at footer area during initial page load. There is no script written on page to make the page scroll down, firefox is picking up some thing in page that is causing it to show site footer immediately; but this does not happen with other popular browsers
In the attached video, i have reproduced the issue seen only in firefox browser wherein the webpage scrolls to end of page instead of remaining on top on page load. Firefox is not rendering the page correctly while other browsers don't seem to have this issue. On page load the website should remain on top. Please visit www.wsp.com to check what firefox is picking up while rendering the page and causing it to go to the bottom instead of staying on top.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::DOM: Navigation' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

If UA is spoofed to version 53.0 (i.e. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0), the initial scroll position will be correct.
Sounds like the site is doing something specific for Firefox 53+? Moving to webcompat for investigation.
I've seen similar problems in Firefox when sites have their css <link>s in <body> instead of <head>, which is what this site is doing. But since this works when UA is spoofed to 53, it might not be that.

This seems to work for me now, so I'll close this issue. If this is still happening, please leave a comment here or file a new bug.
