Firefox backing up.

Firefox backing up.
A bug is bugging me up, but it is unclear to me what is the cause, so no reporting or fixing is yet in sight - whenever I scroll up in Firefox using the mouse scroller there is ~10% chance that the “back” action will be executed. It has happened to me a lot of times now, and I haven’t noticed similar symptoms in other programs.
Ubuntu Dapper, FF 1.5, USB mouse, HP nx6110 notebook. Any advise from the lazyweb?

    The problem appears when you glide your finger in the bottom part of the touch pad. it is interpreted as horizontal scroll wheel, and back movement by FF. To fix enter about:config in address bar and change the value of mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action to 0.
