From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc3 Firefox/1.0.7 Description of problem: The default configuration of laptop touchpads can cause a lot of confusion. By default an invisible strip at the bottom and left of the pad is reserved for button 4,5,6 and 7 events. Unless a user is aware of how this works (that would be most users I think) the side effect is random go-back and go-forward events being generated while a user browses the web in Firefox. Suggest that only finger movement and button1-by-tap events enabled by default for touchpad. User can then use config utility to enable advanced behaviour. Or disable Firefox go-back/go-forward on button 6,7 by default. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get a 'normal' user to browse the web with Firefox on laptop with touchpad 2. Watch as they wonder why the browser intermittently goes back a page when they attempt to move the pointer with their finger 3. Additional info:
The xorg-x11 package is not responsible for configuration of anything. system-config-* configure X.
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.

This problem does not appear to be present in Fedora 7. I've tested with the same hardware as was used to file the original report. You can close this one.
