Whenever I accidentally scroll too far left or right in Firefox, it goes back or forth in my history, which is very annoying. How could I disable this?

According to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1111123 :

In the about:config page there's an option named middlemouse.contentLoadURL. If you set that to false, it seems to stop the middle mouse click from going back to the previous visited website.
