Any way to enable 2-finger swipe (L/R) (Back/Forward) gestures?

Unread post by frykauf » 2020-05-25, 23:34

Hello,

I'm quite a new fan of Pale Moon, but the feature that breaks the experience for me a bit is that the 2-finger swipe for going back/forward (browser.gesture.swipe.left / browser.gesture.swipe.right) doesn't work for me.

I'm on Catalina/Macbook Air old/New Moon build 28.9.3 .

I'd be really grateful for some tips how to solve this.

I already tried changing the browser.gesture.swipe.XXXX values to cmd_scrollLeft/cmd_scrollRight but that didn't work (tried that on 28.9.2 build).

Thank you in advance for any help you provide on this.

Pale Moon is not Firefox, so anything relating to contemporary Firefox will not apply. AFAIK this is a classic desktop browser for keyboard and mouse use and may not necessarily support gestures, I'll let Moonchild confirm. Mouse gestures are possible though with extensions.
