As of one of the last couple of updates FF no longer allows me to scroll thru a webpage by swiping up and down on my touchscreen. I am still able to do this in all other applications just not in FF. Instead of scrolling it highlights text in the page to cut or copy. Can you please re-enable the expected behavior or at least tell me where in the about:config I can find a key for it? Unfortunately until this issue is fixed I'm forced to use Chrome. PLEASE respond and get me back to using FF! Thank you.

It looks like you are using Waterfox, a version of Firefox that is not distributed by Mozilla.
