Ah, thanks for that!  It turns out that "Shift+scroll" is a document
mouse shortcut for going backwards through pages in Firefox.  Apparently
horizontal touchpad scrolling works the same way.  So that's what we're
all seeing.  I suppose that the only way to get rid of this with
Synaptics would be to turn off touchpad scrolling.

Thanks again for digging into this.
