Is there anyway to turn OFF the zoom function?

the continual (accidental) zoom adjustments b/c my fingers hitting the mouse pad is annoying.

hello ob9s, i have no multitouch-pad myself so i can't test if this will actually work, but it's probably worth a try: enter about:config into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) and search for the preferences named browser.gesture.pinch.in & browser.gesture.pinch.out - doubleclick those two entries and change their value to false. or alternatively you could try setting zoom.maxPercent & zoom.minPercent to 100 ...
