Used to have a similar problem on an HP laptop. Then I discovered that
the case was flexible enough by the touchpad that pressure on the case
at certain areas around the touchpad would trigger spontaneous events
like you describe. I had to be careful about where I rested my hands or
how much weight from my hands was on the area around the touchpad.

I just installed FC3 w/ Firefox 1.0.4 on a Thinkpad T30.
Whileusing Firefox it sometimes spontaneously goes "back" to the previous page. Usually it occurs immediately after loading a page. Has anyone else noticed this issue?
The only explaination I can think of is that the Synaptics Touchpad on my Thinkpad T30 is a little sensitive (which it is) and that the odd mouse actions are being interpreted as some kind of mouse gesture control.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
