touchpad corner actions

ive noticed that the bottom right functions as a left click, and top right as middle click.

the weird thing is, if you middle click in open space in firefox, it directs the browser to the contents of the clipboard.

any way to edit these functions or maybe remove that clipboard-redirect type action

 

I *thought* something funny was going on with my touchpad, but I could never quite pin it down. Thanks for pointing out exactly what's happening. Now maybe someone can tell us how to disable it.

 

In firefox go to about:config, search for middlemouse.contentLoadUrl, and set it to false.

 

Thanks! That works (for firefox). I was also wondering, more generally, where this feature is enabled in the touchpad settings. On the menu I see controls for scrolling and clicking, but nothing pertaining to corner actions. Are those controls buried in some config file somewhere?
