// Check for a swipe down gesture to prevent refresh action
   if (event.touches.length > 0) {
       // Prevent default action
       event.preventDefault();
   }

   // Prevent default action to avoid refresh
   event.preventDefault();

I'm using Fennec Firefox on mobile and I'm having this problem where my the page refreshes on the slightest touch. I'd like to turn this gesture off all together. I have done some research and found this code: document.addEventListener('touchstart', function(event) { // Check for a swipe down gesture to prevent refresh action if (event.touches.length > 0) { // Prevent default action event.preventDefault(); } }, { passive: false }); document.addEventListener('touchmove', function(event) { // Prevent default action to avoid refresh event.preventDefault(); }, { passive: false }); I put it into a java script extension and it worked, but then I wasn't able to scroll up or down. I don't know anything about java or python, so if someone could give me a hint or point me in the right direction that would be helpful. I am also looking through the source code of Firefox looking for answers.
