I suspect that this is a problem with the synaptics touch pad and not firefox, but it is the only program that it affects.

When I am working with firefox, sometimes when I move the mouse I go back several pages. Very annoying. I have not been able to find anything in the docs about turning this "feature" off, but I seem to remember a comment about it in the forums. Unfortunately, I have had no luck finding it.

Does anyone know what I can do to shut this off?

Hmm, I want to say I had similar problems with my pad at first, although I cannot remember what my exact problems were. Here is my config though, it works great with firefox now, hope it helps, hard to say without seeing your config.

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier "Touchpad"
   Driver "synaptics"
   Option "SendCoreEvents"
   Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
   Option "Protocol" "event"
   # Next line required only if you want to disable the mousepad while typing:
   Option "SHMConfig" "on"
   Option "MinSpeed" ".60"
   Option "MaxSpeed" ".70"
EndSection

Here is my config. Maybe I simply out thought myself with this one. I'll try yours later.

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Touchpad"
        Driver      "synaptics"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto-dev"
        Option      "Edges" "1900 5400 1800 3900"
        Option      "Finger" "25 30"
        Option      "MaxTapTime" "180"
        Option      "MaxTapMove" "220"
        Option      "VertScrollDelta" "100"
        Option      "MinSpeed" "0.09"
        Option      "MaxSpeed" "0.25"
        Option      "AccelFactor" "0.0010"
EndSection
