So Firefox touchscreen is working for windows and mac.

In Linux it is was not working because it is ported in gtk2, now i obtained a Nightly version that is compiled with gtk3, still, I could not make touchscreen gestures working, e.g. touch scrolling, zoom, etc.

How do I make it work?

It looks like https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=978679 is waiting on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1217515

However can you check if you are using e10s by default?

OMG! touch scrolling now working! So I checked the link guigs gave, the link says we should do this

set env to:

MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1

enable in about:config:

dom.w3c.touch_events.enabled 1

Platform: Firefox Nigthly 44.0a1 e10 enabled Fedora 21, Gnome 3.14.2 Touchscreen device

The 44.0a1 you have is a old Nightly as version 45.0 (as 45.0.a1) has been on Nightly development channel since Oct 29.

The Firefox 44.0 has been on the Aurora aka developer Edition channel as 44.0a2 since Oct 29.

Firefox 43.0 will be the first Release to require GTK 3.4 or greater as 2.18+ is the minimum in Fx 42.0 and older.
