Disabling Firefox Mousewheel "Go Back" and "Go Forward"

Arbitrary note to myself about how to disable the annoying behavior of Firefox to interpret left and right scrolling of a 360-degree scrollwheel as "Go Back" and "Go Forward".

As taken from here :

  Firefox, by default, interprets horizontal scrolling as the forward/back buttons.
  This is  very annoying with two-finger scroll, as it will jump pages without warning.
  After trial and error I figured out how to disable this.  In Firefox go to 
  about:config (type it in address field)

    change mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action to 0
    change mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.numlines to 1
