Can you PLEASE REINSTATE zoom functionality using touchpad to Firefox? It used to have it... thanks
I used to be able to zoom in and out so smoothly and seemlessly by just using the touchpad and pinching fingers, and at some point, with more recent updates/upgrades, this disappeared. I've been using FF for a while now, so would be great if this zooming control from touchpad would be really great again!
(None of the zoom add-ons have worked)

Hello,
have you tried Firefox's zoom feature? It will let you enlarge, reduce or reset the size of a webpage or any other content displayed on your screen. The zoom feature affects all displayed content.
- To enlarge the size of the displayed content, press both keys Ctrl (Windows, Linux)/command (Mac) and + at the same time.
- To reduce the size of the displayed content, press Ctrl (Windows, Linux)/command (Mac) and - at the same time.
- To reset the size back to default, press Ctrl (Windows, Linux)/command (Mac) and 0 at the same time.
You can also try a Firefox add-on such as Fixed Zoom or Zoom Page WE.
Please let us know if this information helped you!
Thank you.

Thank you.
Try to set this pref to true on the about:config page.
- apz.allow_zooming = true
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
Thank you to both Theodorax and cor-el for your kind replies! I tried toggling apz.allow_zooming to true, and unfortunately that did not work, but thanks anyway!
The only thing that makes it a bit better (without still being able to zoom in/out directly from touchpad) is the Zoom Page WE add-on, so thanks so much for that suggestion, Theodorax! :) I hope you see this and know that your response did help me!
I have the exact same problem. In google chrome and safari I can zoom using my mouse pad, but in firefox, it won't let me.
- Fire Fox People: You HAVE to fix this problem. I am not giving you a choice.
Firefox team, please allow mac users to pinch-zoom as and when we like on our browser pages. It is unresponsive to tell us to use "zoom" functions which defeats the whole purpose of our trackpad... :(
If there are no promises or work to reinvent or reinstate this function, I guess it would be yet another time for me to migrate to another browser.
EDIT: the about:config function worked after refreshing the browser tabs. Thank you!
