thanks! that fixed the zoom in/out, but i still can't go back/forward pages? unless i'm doing something wrong? isn't it two fingers swipe left/right?

more options

Try these gestures:

  • browser.gesture.twist.right -> Browser:NextTab
  • browser.gesture.twist.left -> Browser:PrevTab

I fixed that to switch tabs, but i'm wondering how to go back a page or forward instead of clicking back/forward or command-left/right or command-[ & ]

more options

You should be able to use these to go back and forward:

  • browser.gesture.swipe.left -> Browser:BackOrBackDuplicate or Browser:Back
  • browser.gesture.swipe.right -> Browser:ForwardOrForwardDuplicate or Browser:Forward

I tried both but I still can't swipe back/forward pages. Is it just a gesture that is no longer available? I'm doing two-finger swipes left/right.
