Touch double tap zoom

Hi, I'm using Firefox on my 2n1 laptop with touch screen running on windows 10 version 20H2. I was used to interact with many webpages by double tapping on them, but now the double tap results in a zoom, not the same zoom as Ctrl + mouse wheel, but a zoom like the present in the android double tap and that, sorry for the term, screwed up my user experience.

Is there any way I can disable this double tap zoom option in my Windows 10 desktop Firefox browser?

Thank you for helping :)

10 min after I found the solution and came here to share it 

   Open a new Firefox tab.
   Type about:config and press the Enter key.
   Click the button promising to be careful and accepting the risk.
   In the search box type "apz.allow_double_tap_zooming"
   change it's value to False and reload the pages you were double tapping or restart the browser

   In my experience, just closing the about:config tab already saves the changes I've made.
