Since upgrading to 4.0, the text enlargement feature on my MacBook Pro (using two fingers) is gone.

My MacBook Pro trackpad allows me to use fingers to scroll and to make the text larger (by swiping index fingers away from each other) or smaller (by pinching index fingers toward each other).

Since upgrading to 4.0, the larger/smaller capacity is gone (the scroll feature remains).

I'd like this feature back. Please help ...

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</b?
</pre>

To open the about:config page, type <b>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.

This is great, but it only addresses text. Is there a way to make similar changes so that the whole page will scale with the pinching?

Thanks!
