I'm now in the process of switching to Firefox or Camino and I noticed 
that sideways scrolling is defaulted to the forward/back buttons. I 
pulled this from the iScroll2 page:
     * go to about:config (i.e. type it in FireFox' address field)
     * set mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action to 0
     * set mousewheel.withnokey.sysnumlines to false
     * play around with the mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.numlines 
and mousewheel.withnokey.numlines values until you're satisfied with 
the scrolling speed

seems to work for me, but then again, I've got a different trackpad 
driver than you...
