User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:106.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/106.0
Steps to reproduce:
- browse any website using a notebook with gesture control (via track pad)
- swipe (far) to the right with two fingers on the track pad (as you would do to navigate INSIDE one web page)
Actual results:
The described gesture will trigger the 'Go back one page (Alt+Left Arrow)' feature.
So that you likely unintentionally go back one page.
Expected results:
Nothing should have happened.
I recommend to get rid of that feature.
This may not be a big problem during usual browsing.
It's just very distractive if you want to scroll to the left on a webpage (which you do with the same gesture) and suddenly you end up on the previously visited page.
But as soon as it comes to payments or other important checkout processes, this can cause significant problems!

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::DOM: Navigation' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.
