previous page. Usually it occurs immediately after loading a page. Has
anyone else noticed this issue?

my Thinkpad T30 is a little sensitive (which it is) and that the odd
mouse actions are being interpreted as some kind of mouse gesture control.

It's caused by the horizontal "scrollwheel" emulation of your touchpad.
~ It is incredibly annoying.

about:config

mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action  set to 0
mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.numlines set to 0
