I am using Ubuntu LTS 14.04 running compiz.

I am also using firefox version 30.

I don't know what's the cause of problem, sometimes when I just move around the firefox output using the touchpad ( such as scroll up/down/left/right ), some url got clicked and some part of the text get to be come highlighted (as thought in a mouse copy operation).

Here is my synclient output :-

Maybe some setting not right with the touchpad settings ?

If anything then it's sensitivity.
Your 'symptom' is consistent with a one-finger tap (=> left-click) or one-finger tap&hold (=> left-click&hold).

I saw some posts that I could set 'synclient MaxTapTime=0' to disable tap to click.

It's quite a nuisance to me, so I am disabling it to see if it helps.
