How do I disable this new cmd+two finger swipe text-size change function?

It seems a new feature was implemented in which cmd+two finger swipe up and down changes font size/zoom. Can this be disabled? It's driving me nuts. Thanks!

Normally, two-finger swiping scrolls the page? I believe what you are seeing is linked to Firefox's setting for the "mouse wheel". Check out the following thread and see whether that helps: control key (ctrl) and scrolling issue (for Windows 8, but same principle).

Apparently that doesn't work on the Mac. Please see this thread instead: Disable command ⌘ + scroll zooming in firefox 20 on mac?. Any luck?

You can check the related browser.gesture.* prefs on the about:config page and set them to an empty string to disable them.
