Firefox has been automatically doing the equivalent function of hitting the
"back" button today at random intervals.  It's even happening with this page
right now.  I've cleared all my cache and temp files and still experience the
issue.  Unfortunately there are no error messages or consistancy to this.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Nothing special just browse the web
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Browser keeps going back a page.

Expected Results:  
Browser should stay on the current page.

Are you able to replicate this behavior in safe mode?

actually i have determined a cause for this bug, and from what i can tell is
that it requires action from the user

having Advanced General "Use autoscrolling" is selected
scroll using the middleclick up/down only a small amount, within just a few lines
then release

this will often bring up a prieviously visited page, not neccisarily from that tab

I have same bug problem: 
"Firefox has been automatically doing the equivalent function of hitting the
"back" button today at random intervals.  It's even happening with this page
right now."
How can I fix this bug? Because it happens to me often and I'm tired of having to do many times my filling up texts
