Why doesn't the MacBook Pro touch pad pinch zoom with Firefox 4?
I recently downloaded the most recent firefox 4 and was disappointed when my macbook pro touch pad could no longer pinch zoom. The previous version of firefox worked fine. I am surprised as firefox, like other top products generally work well. I wouldn't expect a newer version of your product to be lacking such a useful capability.

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
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
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
