I have Ubuntu 14.04 installed on a laptop/tablet hybrid thing[1] which has both a keyboard/mouse and a touch screen. I would like to be able to scroll pages and Firefox chrome using touch, as you can on windows. Is this possible in Firefox Desktop?

I am currently using the very helpful Grab and Drag addon[2] which lets me scroll pages, but not chrome. Also, it's a little slow the kinetic aspects don't work well. For these reasons, touch scrolling native to Firefox (or Ubuntu) would be preferred.

[1] A Samsung ATIV to be precise: http://www.samsung.com/uk/business/business-products/notebook-pc/smart-pc/XE700T1C-H01UK?subsubtype=series-7 [2] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/grab-and-drag/

Hi BudgieInWA, Sorry I do not know about chrome, you got me there. http://superuser.com/questions/272680/how-can-i-enable-touch-like-scrollin... But for scrolling in Firefox, that is a great add on. So is this, it makes the icons big https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/fire.../?src=collection&collection_id=8acb7dc2-42e7-41e7-bd88-1b9bf6513528

Maybe if you are visiting a mobile site and there are touch events you can turn on in about:config dom.w3c_touch_events.enabled

Another add on I found is to request the mobile site: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire.../go-mobile/

Does this help?

Thanks for the reply. To clarify, by "Firefox chrome" I am referring to Firefox's GUI, such as the tab bar, scrollable context menus and the contents of the 'about:' pages. As a point of interest, Chromium on Ubuntu recently started supporting touch-scrolling for web pages and throughout it's interface.

dom.w3c_touch_events.enabled sends touch events to the webpage, which is less important to me right now. In fact, others have reported that in situations where Firefox has touch-scrolling, enabling that option breaks the touch-scrolling for webpages that listen for the touch events (hence the default being 'disabled').

I'd really like to know if native touch-scrolling is possible under Linux as my current setup is functional but not ideal.
