Description of problem: Scrolling along the bottom of a touchpad causes Firefox to move forward/back in the history instead of scrolling the current web page horizontally. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.0-0.beta2.12.nightly20080121.fc9 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make Firefox window small enough so a horizontal scrollbar appears. 2. Slide finger along bottom of synaptics touchpad. Actual results: Page back/forward in history. Expected results: Scroll horizontally. Additional info: This fixes the problem: Go to: about:config Search for horiz and set this parameter: mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action userset integer 1 The default value of this parameter should be changed. Binding this to page forward/back is just braindead and causes no end to headaches when accidentally activating the scroll feature of the touchpad. Scrolling the mouse/touchpad should cause scrolling, not forward/back.
This seems to be working correctly in FF3 Beta 5.
