If you have horizontal scrolling enabled (which I guess you have from your description) then mozilla will go back if you scroll left. The way it behaves for my alps (which uses the synaptics driver) is if I drag left along the bottom of the touchpad it goes back and right it goes forward. I don't see a way to disable it directly, but you can probably play with HorizScrollDelta or BottomEdge to disable it. > j. > > -- > __________________________________________________________________________ > "We did a risk management review.
