I don't need it. I don't want it. If I want to zoom in, I will use the option, to do so. I will NEVER use pinch/zoom on my laptop and it is a harrowing experience with everything I do when online. Even while writing this and trying to scroll, it zooms.

Please do not tell me to disable it in Windows. I use an external keyboard and Windows ̶r̶e̶f̶u̶s̶e̶s̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶o̶f̶f̶e̶r̶ doesn't have that option for an external keyboard.

You can clear the value of the related gesture prefs on the about:config page.

  • browser.gesture.pinch

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
