I have no objections to xorg.conf disabling horizontal scrolling on touchpads by
default. This bug is still present if you have a real mouse with two wheels,
and it has nothing to do with xserver-xorg. I apologize for causing confusion
by my mention of the changes I did to xorg.conf.

I filed this as a Firefox bug, because it mishandles horizontal scroll events in
two ways:

  1. Firefox binds scrolling events to history prev/next instead of scrolling
left/right.
  2. Firefox reverses the scroll direction when configured to use the wheel for
scrolling.
