Issue

I have another kind of problem with Firefox

Description

On rare occasions, moving the mouse triggers the Back function, so Firefox jumps back to the previous page in my history. I can't find any pattern to this. Sometimes it seems like the glitch also moves the mouse pointer to the Back button's screen location, but I'm not sure of that. I use a 3-button Logitech mouse with left & right buttons, and a wheel that also works as a center button. The center button is configured to produce the 'pointer scroller' — that is, click the wheel button and I get a four-pointed icon which lets me scroll the page just by moving the mouse pointer. Click a second time and it goes away.

This behavior has occurred now on two different machines, although the mouse being used is the same.

This happened

A few times a week

This can happen if you press the Shift key while rotating the mouse wheel. Pressing the Ctrl key will zoom the page.
See Mausbefehle

You can set the pref mousewheel.withshiftkey.action to 0 on the about:config page to disable that action.

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
