Yes, I am using a laptop touchpad, which is probably what made it more annoying than it should have been. Actually, I meant to post a reply eariler saying that I fixed it- by using that option in Firefox. I didn't realize touchpads could horizontal scroll, not to mention scrolling wasn't enabled at all in my 9.2 install-- so I didn't think of that before I originally posted.
After I did that, I noticed that it would flip through the open windows if you 'clicked and moved' on the Taskbar. So I figured, it that was related to the horizontal scroll also. Since it's too easy to accidently horizontal scroll on a touchpad, I decided that I'd just turn it off. Initially, I tested to make sure horizontal scrolling was the problem using Ksynaptics. Turning it off in KSynaptics, told me I was correct. Since I would rather fix it properly so it didn't happen in any window manager-- I researched how to shut off horizontal scrolling in xorg.conf. I managed to turn it off and correct the border size of the touchpad (the vertical scroll side of the mouse was starting early.). So far everything seems to be working just fine.
