Firefox 3.1 Adds Multi-Touch Support
Category: Applications
On Monday, Mozilla released Firefox 3.1 Beta 2, the first version of its flagship web browser to support multi-touch gestures. Owners of MacBook, MacBook Air or MacBook Pro with multi-touch trackpads can try out the latest beta version of Firefox 3.1 that supports finger gestures. Supported gestures are even more robust than Safari’s limited support (back, forward, resize text) and include: Swipe (3 fingers) left and right to go back and forward in history, Swipe up and down to go to the top or end of the page, Pinch to zoom in and out, and Twist between tabs to switch from one tab to another. There is no known release date for the final release of Firefox 3.1 but these multitouch gestures are expected to be released with the final version.
