FWIW, this generalized GTK issue has already been noted above.
(Searching this bug for "nautilus" will give you the relevant comments.)
If you're interested in specifically working around it in Firefox (but
not other apps), the "Mouse Gestures" addon can help, as documented in
earlier comments.

Um... Why are you posting this request here?

If you want an aspect of Gnome behavior made to be customizable, you
won't get very far by posting your request on an already-fixed (and
already-unmanageably-long) Firefox bug page (in Ubuntu's bug tracker).
This has literally zero chance of getting your issue addressed.

You might have more luck if you bring up this topic in a Gnome developer
IRC channel, forum, or mailing list.  Or, you could file a bug at
http://bugzilla.gnome.org. But posting about it here is not going to
help.

(Please no more comments on this bug -- if we hit 300, I think I'm going
to cry.)
