Re: No more gestures with Magic Mouse on OSX

Post by iamhere »

I use to be able, with the mousepad in my MBPr, with a two finger swipe from left to right, to go back to the previous page/site. That is no longer the case. I haven't been using a mouse for the longest time. Is there a bug filed for the two finger swipe/s that are now not any longer working? Thanks!

All of the swipe prefs that I see in Firefox are 'single finger' swipes only

I think it's because e10s blocks a11y features. Have you tried disabling e10s?

So, after some days I tried both of your hints...and both of them work!
Disabling e10s or setting the layers.async-pan-zoom.enabled to false make single-swipe (on iMac with MM) work.

Now the questions are:
  1. Is there a bug to track so we can see when the problem is fixed?
  2. As a workaround, which solution has the lowest impact and should be used?
Thanks for all of your info.
Ciao,

Any news on this?
After 20 days I updated to latest nightly and reset layers.async... and swipe still doesn't work.

Ops, they did it again... :D
Things were working for about two months.

Edit: Setting layers.async-pan-zoom.enabled to false and restarting gestures work again.
