When I select text by holding down the left mouse key and drag the mouse to the left, Firefox interprets it as if I had hit the Back Button. Same for the "left to right" move...
This makes editing in the browser (like this post) very difficult.
I have the plugin "mouse gestures redox 2.1.4" installed on Firefox 3.5.3 (Max OS 10.5.3). This used to be different the last few years...
Thanks!
By default Mouse Gestures Redox uses the right button for applying gestures. It seems it's configured to work with the left button on your Firefox.
Check the option extensions: Tools > Add-ons > Select Mouse Gestures Redox extension > Options button
In the General tab, under "Make Gestures with", make sure you have the "right button" radio button selected.
Try running Firefox in safe mode. If you still have the problem, it's a setting in Firefox. If you don't have the problem, then it's the plugin's fault.
Just a note related to your question: sometimes when using online editors such as TinyMCE, Firefox can get confused when using Delete/Backspace, or (on a Mac) when using Cmd-Left or Cmd-Right to go to the start or end of a line. Actually, the very same editor used on a different website might not show these problems. (Often these problems are related to some special dynamic loading of the editor, which then confuses the browser.)
To disable navigation using Delete/Backspace one can set the Browser.backspace_action preference.
To disable navigation using specific other keys, one can use the keyconfig add-on.
