Prevent footnotes from sticking together, moving to next page

I hit a situation where it appears like latex has a passion for putting footnotes together, which causes it even to move a footnote away from the page on which it is referenced.
[EDIT: As Ulrike Fischer pointed out in the comments, latex has no such mechanism built-in. The behavior thus must be a symptom of some other issue.]
To be precise, I have two pages as follows:
- Page 1
- Figure 1
- Footnote 1 is defined
- Page 2
- Figure 2
- Footnote 2 is defined
- Footnote 3 is defined
Now instead of putting Footnote 1 on Page 1, latex puts Footnote 1 on Page 2, together with Footnote 2 and 3. There would be enough space on Page 1 to fit Footnote 1. If I make the page bigger using enlargethispage, nothing happens for a while until it moves all three footnotes on Page 1.
I'm not providing a MWE because I think the issue is quite specialized and hard to reproduce.
Has anyone else experienced this behavior? What did you do against that? Is there a penalty or so I can set for moving footnotes to another page?

Your claim is wrong: nothing in latex tries to keep footnotes together. Your code is doing something curious and you should show an example.

really you should provide an example it is almost impossible to guess what is happening, for example are page 1 or page 2 float pages? (latex can not place footnptes on float pages by default)

Footnotes inside floats are tricky at best, since you really don't know what page the float will wind up on. See tex.stackexchange.com/questions/29916/…

I fixed it. The problem was that the figure on Page 2 contained tablefootnote commands. I'm not sure how the tablefootnote package works, but there does seem to be some interaction with previously placed footnotes.
I worked around this issue by replacing the tablefootnote command by a footnotemark-footnotetext pair and moving the footnotetext far enough down.
