Happens to me as well ever since I upgraded to FF12. When there are blocked site in the windows hosts file (redirected to 127.0.0.1), FF will simply "jump" to the frame saying "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at ..." when the page is done loading.

Setting "browser.xul.error_pages.enabled" to "false" stops the jumping but this isn't a real solution...

FF12 auto-scrolls down to a section where an add has been blocked. 
This behavior did not occur in previous versions.
Very annoying and unproductive.
Is there an estimated time for a fix release?

They say this is the same bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748803

You might get a quicker response from there.
