How do I enable side-to-side touchpad scrolling navigation in Firefox on Ubuntu 18.04?












0















I'm using Firefox version 64.0 and Ubuntu 18.04. By default, there doesn't seem to be back/forward page navigation enabled to work with touchpad horizontal scrolling, which I would like to have.



I have seen suggestions to go to config:about and modify settings related to "gesture", but everything seems to be set up, correctly. For example, I have the following default settings in place:



browser.gesture.swipe.left;Browser:BackOrBackDuplicate
browser.gesture.swipe.right;Browser:ForwardOrForwardDuplicate


Does touchpad navigation work for anyone else on Ubuntu 18.04?
