"My first brush with mouse gestures on the Opera browser was an accident, but the ability to quickly move backward or forward in the browser history, open new windows, close tabs, and more without using the menus or moving the mouse toward the navigation toolbar won me over immediately. Nowadays, this feature is available in Firefox and Konqueror too, and you can even configure mouse gestures for GNOME and KDE desktop environments." More here.

Some distro's (I'm thinking it was fedora) defaulted to having gesturs turned on for Firefox. It used to drive me crazy until I figured out how to turn it off. Every time I would move the mouse to the left the page would go back. If I remember correctly, Opera had gestures, but it was when you had the right mouse button pressed. That made more sense. Nothing worse than filling out a long web-form and then losing everything with an accidental "back" gesture!
