The three finger swipe gesture works fine within Windows and in other browsers, but in Firefox (which is my primary browser) it doesn't seem to work.

Hello Dylmar,

There are a few Firefox add-ons that may work for you. Give these a try:

All in One Gestures

Fire Gestures

Let us know if this solves your issue.

Cheers, Patrick
