uncontrollable scrolling issues on Facebook

Until it gets resolved (I believe it’s a FaceBook issue), try a different browser. Firefox and Brave are frequently recommended on these forums.

I’m not sure I understand your post. Facebook doesn’t have a Mac app, only apps for iOS and iPad OS. So, are you referring to an app by some other developer? Or are you talking about your browser? If so, what browser are you using?

Based on other posts I’ve read, it seems likely that it’s a Facebook issue, that there is some non-standard stuff going on. Safari is rather sensitive to websites that don’t conform to standards. I’d suggest you try another browser. Brave or FireFox are often recommended.

I am having the same issue described above. My Facebook feed is uncontrollably scrolling and jumping through posts. It's as if someone has taken over my track pad and is scrolling super fast without my consent. I am using Safari myself, not sure what the OP is using. Any ideas? This began happening the day before yesterday.

Being an Apple guy and have used different browsers I will never use anything but Safari. Way too many issues with other browsers. I'll just look at Facebook on my phone until it gets fixed.

Thanks for your help.

That’s entirely up to you. Seems like a limited way of looking at things but, if restricting yourself to one tool that isn’t doing the job when there are others that might is working for you for you, that’s great.

This issue to date only appears on Facebook, whose founder's motto is "Run fast and break things."

I do not think this is an Apple problem.

it is Facebook's problem to cooperate with existing current Browsers. if Facebook finds their new features are causing problems for users, then Facebook need to reach out to Apple to find a solution.

Be sure you let Facebook know you don't like it. Every other site seems to be working just fine, and Facebook was working fine until recently.

Mine is doing the same thing since yesterday. I've tried numerous things to try and fix it, but nothing has worked.

Mine is also doing this. All the suggestions are for Edge, Firefox, etc., but nothing for Safari. This started after the last Mac update, it seems.

I think they are using 'aps' to mean applications. This also is happening in Firefox

Yes, the OP already clarified that.

Reports are coming in that FB has resolved this.
