Gateway Touchpad bad behavior...


I have a Gateway laptop, Pentium 4 running FC5. When I move the cursor left on the screen when using Firefox the browser scrolls back to previous pages which is very annoying. If anyone knows how to prevent this action I would sure appreciate it.

Thanks...
Dave

It should only be doing this when your moving the mouse by touching the bottom of the touchpad, which is a scroll area. You can try setting up a mouse with no scroll areas? or just avoid the bottom centimeter of touchpad.
