On Fedora at least doing accidental horizontal mouse movements that generate a page back event in Firefox is ridiculously easy.
According to bug 282140 this should no longer happen... setting
mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action to 0
mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.sysnumlines to true
fixes this as mentioned in http://jmatrix.net/dao/case/case.jsp?case=7F000001-B3319F-10FF83EBB70-49E

It seems much more sensible for this to be set by default- going forward and backward in browser history is quite a radical action that doesn't seem to make sense on scrolling
