how to disable back and forward Swype in Firefox on android
back and forward gestures always done accidentally with the normal browsing, as it resembles exactly when you want to move to right or left of a large or desktop view of a web page. there's also an excellent application (three finger Swipe) one can use effectively without any mistakes as it require three fingers Swype to launch an action, not one finger, exactly as the very normal browsing.

We don't have any back/forward gestures for Firefox for Android.
but I do have.....it happens in the lower section of the screen with one finger..I shall also disable other add-ons to see if it still working
I have the same problem on a Samsung Galaxy tab 2 Android 4.1.1. on Firefox v23.
It says back or forward in some horizontal swipe/flick gestures in the middle/lower screen (black transparant popup, white text).
It's really annoying, because i'm prototyping with this gestures. And sometimes a swipe-action-left navigates to a earlier page instead of the page linked to the swipe-action-left. I disabled two finger gestures in about:config, but it didn't help of course.
I don't think it's related to the Samsung tab/Android version or TouchWiz?
