SOLVED
This is not a firefox bug. I did some research and found a mention of
xmodmap. That lead me to this:
"http://cweiske.de/howto/xmodmap/allinone.html";. Basically, my trackball
was sending the wrong pointer information to xorg. You can see it with
the xev program. The device was supposed to send only button 4 and 5
information. It turns out it was sending button 8 and 9 information as
well.
To fix it, I did this command:
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 10 11 8 9"
This immediately fixed the problem. I then made it permanent by creating
a .Xmodmap file in my home directory with the following text:
pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 10 11 8 9
Please close this bug. Thanks.
