I have recently switched to Linux Mint 18.3 full time and now my touchscreen will not work properly on just Firefox. I can touch to select a link or open an item, but it will not move the page/scroll with touch. Touch works with every other browser and in all my system folders, so I know this issue is only with Firefox. I'm hoping there is a fix for this.

thank you.

HI, Enable touchscreen gestures https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firefox/Tweaks#Enable_touchscreen_gestures

Make sure dom.w3c_touch_events.enabled is either set to 1 (enabled) or 2 (default, auto-detect).

Run export MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 before launching Firefox. To make this change persistent, add that command to /etc/profile.d/firefox.sh

Your Linux community forum would be a better place to look I would think.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
