I have no desire to use mouse/touchpad gesture navigation, yet my normal rolling the mouse around is causing maddening random forward and back navigation as I use firefox. When filling out forms this is especially bad since sometimes I lose all the form data when a random back-navigation occurs. I tried to figure out what the gestures are in order to avoid them, but I couldn't replicate them at all when I was trying to, yet it happens so constantly in normal surfing and is a big time waster. This may be a useful feature to some but it is a bug to me. I just want it to stop completely. How can I do that?

HAVE YOU TRIED to change the settings of your mouse in the operating system?


  1. Select Control Panel from Start Menu.
  2. Select the Device Settings Tab.
  3. Click the Settings Button.
  4. Click the + sign to expand the Gestures Settings.
  5. Select Two-Finger Flick.
  6. Uncheck the box for Two-Finger Flick then Click OK.
  7. Click OK on mouse Properties.

This solved my problem with Gestures in FireFox but the mouse settings are different for different manufacturers however, the settings should be similar.

See Attached Picture.

Brgds, Agonyflips.

Enter "about:config" (without quotes) in address bar and hit Enter. Search for "gesture" and clear the value of "browser.gesture.swipe.left" and "browser.gesture.swipe.right"
