Are there any way to disable mouse shortcuts ?
I use option + mouse scroll to scroll the webpage horizontally, however Firefox use option + mouse scroll to switch page back/forward. Are there any way to disable it?

In Firefox you use the Shift modifier to scroll horizontally. You can possibly swap these two prefs on the about:config page:
- mousewheel.with_alt.action = 2 => 4
- mousewheel.with_shift.action = 4 => 2
You can use '0' to disable a specific action.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can click the button to "Accept the Risk and Continue".
Mousewheel action prefs on the about:config page:
- mousewheel.default.action
- mousewheel.with_*.action
- mousewheel.with_alt.action = 2
- mousewheel.with_control.action = 3
- mousewheel.with_meta.action = 1
- mousewheel.with_shift.action = 4
- mousewheel.with_win.action= 1
Action:
0: Nothing happens 1: Scrolling contents 2: Go back or go forward, in your history 3: Zoom in or out (reflowing zoom) 4: Treat vertical wheel as horizontal scroll 5: Zoom in or out (pinch zoom)Read this answer in context 👍 1
