Still no pinch to zoom. No chance on macOS.

A workaround if you really want that might be to set a bettertouchtool hotkey mapping pinch to CMD+/- when in the Firefox app.

  I actually mean double tap zoom that zooms to HTML element that your cursor on. Amazing feature for browsing experience. Chromium has this feature since a lot.

    This extension does that mostly. The only problem is that it zooms linearly, so when you get closer it takes more input to scale the same amount. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-touch-zoom/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-touch-z... Also read the description: there's an option to enable it, but for me at least, it was too buggy to use.

Just set "apz.allow_zooming" to true in about:config. Pinch zoom works for me on macOS at least, didn't try on Windows yet. Works smoothly, just like in Safari and Chrome. Perhaps there are still some minor bugs and they don't enable it by default?

  Nice try. It works by pinching but double tap and smart zoom to cursor. And if you zoom in somehow, you cannot pan over the page because Firefox act like you are seeing full screen and trying to go back or forward in browser history.

    > And if you zoom in somehow, you cannot pan over the page because Firefox act like you are seeing full screen and trying to go back or forward in browser history. Need to first pan at least a bit vertically, then it allows horizontal panning. But yeah, clearly not a finished feature yet. Still nice to see there's progress, and it's already mostly usable with the mentioned caveats.

      > Need to first pan at least a bit vertically Thinking of it, it would even be a nice feature since we need to pan to the left of the page or zoom out completely to go back in history with touch pad in Chromium based browsers. > Still nice to see there's progress, and it's already mostly usable with the mentioned caveats. At least. Next release should definitely have this double-tap and smart-zoom feature.
