It should be possible to set this in your OS's touchpad settings, but you can also set this in Firefox's about:config by changing browser.gesture.swipe.left to cmd_scrollLeft and browser.gesture.swipe.right to cmd_scrollRight.

This basically changes the two-finger swipe to horizontal scrolling. If you don't want that either, you can leave these settings empty.
