Simple back and forth mouse movement changes screen to open tabs

Current version. Intermittent problem always either this issue or works fine from initiating ff.

Several tabs are open. Simple left right movement of mouse suddenly replaces current page with previous and then the next previous.

I wonder if it is malware but have performed a full malware scan, no issues.

The mouse is a Logitech Expert wireless mouse.

Thank you

You do have the Logitech SetPoint extension installed. I wonder whether it recognizes certain gestures as cues to go back/forward in history, or to switch among open tabs, etc.

You can check whether it has any relevant settings on the Add-ons page. Either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the right side, check whether the Logitech SetPoint extension has an Options button.
