I just upgraded to Lion OSX and when using Firefox 5 I can no longer use swipe commands on the trackpad to move backward and forward between web pages. I opened Safari and these features work fine. Prior to upgrading to Lion, all of these features worked in Firefox 5.

Firefox developers should be well aware of these; and similar problems with supporting some of the Lion OSX. There are some possible work-arounds. I am not sure what if any progress the developers are making. I certainly have not seen much in the way of official comment, but I am not a Mac user myself.
