Is there a way to zoom in with touchscreen

more options

So whilst in a Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge if you two-figure zoom it will zoom in. But if you are in Firefox it will act like if you are pressing CTRL and Plus or zoom in with your touch pad.

The reason is that edge and IE are Microsoft product and if they are part of the O/S then they will function like a touch screen unlike FF which isn't integrated into the O/S. Are you sure about Chrome can do that unless Chrome has installed some kinda driver to recognize hand gestures.

These gestures should work on Windows.

You can try to check/modify these prefs on the about:config page to see if that has effect.

  • browser.gesture.pinch.in = "cmd_fullZoomReduce"
  • browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift = "cmd_fullZoomReset"
  • browser.gesture.pinch.out = "cmd_fullZoomEnlarge"
  • browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift = "cmd_fullZoomReset"
  • browser.gesture.pinch.latched = false
  • browser.gesture.pinch.threshold = 25

This is what I mean, will it make it act like how Chrome or Edge does it?
