Alright firefox fans, lets unite here.

Google chrome/chromium has one amazing feature thats making me keep it as my primary browser on my Linux laptop - That is the touchscreen options.

Firefox HAS to have these options. However I cannot find them anywhere at all online. Can someone help me out? And no, im NOT talking about add ons such as grab-n-drag.. Thats being lazy and out of the answerbooks.

Heres what im talking about for chrome http://askubuntu.com/questions/452159/ubuntu-14-04-multi-touch-screen-support

hello envyforme, firefox desktop versions don't have these kind of touch-input controls . this is a primarily community-run support forum so it's probably not the right place to request features (we cannot implement any features & devs won't read here).

please either use https://input.mozilla.org/feedback for general feedback or if you feel that it's a missing feature in the browser file a bug at bugzilla.mozilla.org.
