Three-touch trackpad scrolling now opens tabs options instead of page up/down.
In previous betas of firefox on a mac, the three-finger scroll on the trackpad used to do full page up and full page down (as it does in other applications). In version 4 beta 7, for some reason the three touch trackpad action now opens the 'Firefox Group your Tabs' feature. I've searched in the preferences menu and can't see where to edit or fix this. Can anyone help?

The three finger up and down swipe gestures on trackpads have been changed to, by default, open and close Firefox Panorama view (neé TabCandy). To change these back to the previous scroll-to-top and scroll-to-bottom commands, open about:config and set browser.gesture.swipe.down to cmd_scrollBottom and browser.gesture.swipe.up to cmd_scrollTop.

Great! That worked a treat - many, many thanks.
You're welcome
Thank you very much for this!
where can i find the about:config file?
Type about:config into the address bar in the browser.
cool, thank you so much!
In beta 9 the gesture was changed back to full page down, full page up. I preferred it opening and closing Panorama. How do I change the gesture back for Panorama?
You can change the gesture pref on the about:config page.
TabView.toggle();
whats the value of browser.gesture.swipe.down?
whats the value of browser.gesture.swipe.down?
To restore the default behavior of FF4b7 and b8 set the following values:
- browser.gesture.swipe.down > Browser:ShowTabView
- browser.gesture.swipe.up > Browser:HideTabView
If you like you may right click and create new string keys with names like "browser.gesture.swipe.down.shift" and add the "cmd_scroll" values to keep the scroll to top and bottom available while holding the shift key.
Thank you so much, psoplayer! Apparently I was one of the few who used this feature; everyone was trying to figure out how to disable the Tab Groups gesture, and in the latest nightly I've been trying to figure out how to change it back.
I had the preference values in ff4b10 set to browser.gesture.swipe.down Browser:ShowTabView browser.gesture.swipe.up > Browser:HideTabView and the settings worked, but now in ff4b11 the gesture does nothing. Did they change this setting?
There is probably only a Browser:ToggleTabView (Shift+Ctrl+E)
Fixed in release version, at least on my MBA.
On the other hand, I had to go into about:config to restore the pinch/zoom gesture behavior....sigh.
I have a problem with the "pinch open and close" function of my trackpad that lets me make web texts bigger....since upgrading this week it doesn't work.
Can you please help me with that?
The instructions below worked for previous versions after FF4b7, but they do not work for the final version of FF4. Was the value changed for TabView? It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me get this feature back.
