I am running Firefox on a touch screen monitor. I have an issue where if the screen is touched in a left moving swipe accidentally, Firefox tries to load the previous session which results in a black Firefox screen. How can I disable this feature?

Hmm, apparently the "gesture" of swiping left should do the same thing as clicking the Back button. I'm not sure how you get a black screen from that.

To change what that swipe does, you could try this:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste swipe and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the browser.gesture.swipe.left preference to display a dialog, change the value to cmd_scrollLeft and then click OK

Does that make any difference for you?

I haven't been able to test this because mine doesn't go "Back" in the first place.
