Hello. Firefox 5 has completely disabled the touch capability. For Firefox 4, this was the solution: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/networking/fixing-firefox-4-8217s-mac-multi-touch-woes/864 but that isn't working for 5. How can I activate the touch functions and why does firefox keep disabling them? Thank you!

open ff5 and type the following in the address bar

about:config

filter : type "pinch" and search...set them to

  • browser.gesture.pinch.in; cmd_fullZoomReduce
  • browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift; cmd_fullZoomReset
  • browser.gesture.pinch.latched false
  • browser.gesture.pinch.out; cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
  • browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift; cmd_fullZoomReset

ff5 will now respond to pinch zoom. tap with 2 fingers to reset zoom. thanks to the people at the tabletpcreview forum for this
