Pinch-to-zoom gesture in Google Maps/Bing Maps not working

Post by moontear »

There are a lot of bugs filed around multi-touch support and Firefox, some of them years old but all of them resolved. I don't want to file a new bug, hence just asking a question here as Google (https://www.google.co.jp/search?q=firef ... oogle+maps) does not help:

It seems that Firefox (currently 45.0.2 on Windows 10) still does the old full page zoom when on Google/Bing Maps on Windows and pinching to zoom on a touch enabled monitor. Same behavior as pressing CTRL+ + and CTRL + - on the page. There are similar bugs filed here:https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1150284, here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=990767 or here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=573295.

Google Chrome (latest), IE (latest) handles pinch-to-zoom perfectly in either map web app (or even osm.org to throw that one in - any map app basically works in Chrome/IE, but not in FF).

Does Firefox currently not support pinch-to-zoom on map web applications? Using the gesture mapped to mouse-wheel scroll works perfectly to zoom in and out of the map in FF, would it be possible to remap pinching to mouse wheel scroll for certain websites or something like that?
