I recently had a new hard drive installed on my macbook pro that runs Mac OS X 10.6. Now I cant pinch to zoom on Firefox. Pinch to zoom works fine on Safari, but I do prefer to use Firefox. Any reason why or suggestions to fix this? Thanks.

The pinch gesture was disabled by default because it was causing problems for some users. For details, see this link: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613909

You can install the Pinchy add-on to re-enable these gestures.
