Firefox 29 has, this morning and for no apparent reason, stopped recognising 2 and 3 fingure trackerpad gestures. Why?

Currently running Mavericks in Mac computer with Firefox 29 Beta. Software has not updated for a couple of days and no changes have been made to the configuration in any way for at least a week.

Everything working normally yesterday but, this morning, all two and three finger gestures on my trackerpad had stopped working. This is not happening on any other application on my system so must, therefore, be a firefox issue.

Would appreciate any suggestions

Yup, they are are working on this and the team is aware of this issue.

Last comment has a suggested work around:

I then realised I had recently disabled the "Notification Center" swipe on trackpad options (System Preferences -> Trackpad ->More Gestures -> Tick/Untick Notification Center). I re-enabled this and the two finger swipe to go back works as intended.


Thank you for asking about this. Please feel free to vote on the bug, but before you comment, please see the bugzilla etiquette.

Sorry - thought I had already updated this post

Must admit that I didn't think of checking the Trackpad settings as the trackpad was working in every other app I tried (including web browsers) so I rather assumed that the problem lay with Firefox.

The solution that worked or me was a deep purge of Firefox cache files using a proprietary third party tool. This solved the problem and I haven't had a recurrence since.

Maybe this will work for others with the problem.
