    I have a bad habit of highlighting when I read articles in firefox.

    When I tap near the scroll side of the touchpad firefox takes it as a gesture or something and searchs the internet for whatever I had previously highlighted.

    Does anyone know how I can turn this off in Firefox or stop it from happening?

    Figured it out from : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=324358

    type "about:config" in address bar
    set middlemouse.contentLoadURL to false
