Details
Steps to reproduce:
I installed the Flathub version of Firefox on Linux. I wanted to use the swipe gestures for back, forward and zooming.
Note: I use an other version while reporting this bug.
Actual results:
All these gestures, (which work on every other Firefox installation, I think) doesn't work in this Flathub version.
Expected results:
The swipe gestures should have worked (two fingers from left to right to go back, two fingers from right to left to go forward and two fingers pinching for zooming).
I forgot to mention that I mean the touchpad-gestures of course...

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::DOM: Navigation' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

AFAIK these gestures require either Wayland (MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
, enabled by e.g. Fedora) or Xinput2 (MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1
, also enabled in Fedora) - i.e. it's expected that they don't work in a stock environment. So this is probably just a duplicate of bug 1752398

I don't think that it is a problem of the environment. I have discovered this bug in Fedora, so I tried to reproduce it in the Firefox-Flatpak-version of Fedora Flatpak Repo and the swipe gestures worked fine. In the rpm-version the swipe gestures worked too. It is only a bug in the official Flathub-version.

Well, the Fedora builds of Firefox - both flatpak and rpm - enable both Wayland and Xinput2. FTR. I can reproduce the issue here when running the official nightly with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0
(nightly enables Wayland by default already).

Yes, this is correct, we use the launch script which sets both: MOZ_USE_XINPUT2
and MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND
. Setting the MOZ_USE_XINPUT2
for the flathub (x11) version enables pinch to zoom, but not the back/forward gestures. You can test by yourself by:
flatpak run --command=sh --env=MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 org.mozilla.firefox
Maybe we could enable at least MOZ_USE_XINPUT2
for the flathub flatpak?
