Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8

Left-right scrolling with second mouse wheel used to work with previous releases
(namely Firebird 0.7 and Mozilla-1.4.. also works in thunderbird 0.5). It
doesn't work anymore with firefox. Looks like firefox interprets second wheel
(ie. buttons 6 and 7 mapped by  'Option    "ZAxisMapping"    "4 5 6 7"' in
XF86Config) as click on the first (ie. left) mouse button - highlighting word
and line consequently.

does this work in Mozilla 1.6?

This is true for Firefox 0.9 on OS X as well (only the second mouse wheel is
mapped to the forward/back commands). This is *really* annoying.

Mozilla 1.6 OS X exhibits the correct (old) behavior, but Mozilla 1.7.2 exhibits
the buggy (forward/back) behavior.

Please, please, please, please, *PLEASE* fix this...its' driving me batty....

Sorry, but this is really a dupe of bug 231718 (where even the necessary hidden
prefs are listed which can be used in about:config to "fix" this).
