Mousepad Gestures

[mqpower]

Add mousepad gestures into firefox to two finger swipe left to go "back: or right to go "forward".

@dyegoOk....I see the key difference here is that the "Tab Swipe" as described in the video is a 3-finger swipe vs a 2-finger swipe for Swipe to Nav or current Tab Swipe in FF in combination with cursor location.

Will discuss with my Tech Lead to verify code responsibility for these events and actions.

I couldn't find a single toggle to completely disable gestures / swipe2nav. Does one exist? I get desperately confused every time I unknowingly / accidentally trigger one of them because this is NOT a feature I care to learn about or use. It does not fit my browser usage / workflow, so it's very frustrating and confusing when I accidentally trigger them. I think I have disabled them in about:config, but I have no idea what all the "off" values ought to be, especially for the "threshold" settings. I just want one toggle in "Settings" where I can completely disable the feature.

You should be able to disable swipe2nav via:

1. enter about:config in the awesomebar
2. search for "swipe"and scroll down to  see the  pref "widget.disable-swipe-tracker"
3. Set  the pref widget.disable-swipe-tracker = true. This should disable swipe2 nav if you desire.

Hope this helps

@fgriffith That did work. Thank you! I'd still maintain that something in "Settings" under "General > Browsing" would be a good place to toggle this on and off just for accessibility purposes for less technical users.
