How do I disable the back and forward gestures in F9 for OSX Lion?
The new gestures in Firefox 9 for OSX Lion that enable you to browse forward and backward with a two-fingered swipe are driving me crazy.
I like the idea, but it's way too sensitive. Every time I'm trying to scroll up or down a page (which also uses two fingers), I accidentally go back because I apparently don't have the skills to swipe up and down the track pad in a perfectly vertical line.
If the feature was adjusted so that the back and forth swiping wasn't so sensitive, this would be a wonderful feature. But as it currently is, it's destroying my browsing experience in Firefox to the point where I'm considering switching browsers.
I haven't found a way to disable just this feature and only in Firefox. Help?

You can set the related gesture prefs to an empty string value on the about:config page.
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 the about:config page.
- Use the Filter bar at the top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
Filter: gesture
Double-click the line with the gesture pref that you want to disable and clear its value.
