How can I disable the use of the mouse left click for moving forward/backward on pages?

Hello,

I've been having a very annoying problem where if I left click on my mouse and drag left or right, I'm taken to a previous page. I disabled smooth scrolling and auto scrolling, but the issue persisted. I tried in another browser and it is not my mouse. I already went into the config and removed the keybinds for gestures. For some reason, it is not disabling in Firefox. Any ideas?

I think you are supposed to Right-Click for moving.


Opps, Sorry.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Thank you, that helped me to figure it out. Apparently I had FireGestures installed, which I don't recall ever adding.
