Just did a clean install of 10.10 after sticking with 10.6.8 for so long.

I see the default gesture in Firefox for the 'back to last page'/'forward to next page' buttons has changed from 3 finger swipe left/right to 2 finger swipe left/right. OK good.

Except... I notice I'm having to swipe twice. As in it doesn't seem to register the first time. Not good.

Where is the root cause of this faux pas? Is there a system preference to change to get responsiveness back or is this a Firefox issue? (Appears to be OSX related as it's the same version of Firefox.)


EDIT:
Seems like the issue is the two finger drop is initially seen as a scroll and it takes it a moment (or a retry) to make it work.

The heck did they go and change things up for...

Anyway, now I see where to assign the original 3 finger paging. It's super responsive again and all is well.
