Package: firefox-esr
Version: 115.6.0esr-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hello,
touchscreen is common in modern laptops. Currently the default
behavior of firefox-esr is "point and select text".
The expected 1-finger scroll and 2-fingers zoom-in gestures of the mobile
app are not activated in the desktop version of firefox.
This is easily corrected by setting the global variable MOZ_USE_XINPUT2 to 1.
In my opinion the expected touch gestures should be the default behavior of
firefox-esr in laptops, and this can be obtained by adding a file
/etc/environment.d/50firefox-esr.conf
(or some other filename that Maintainer finds more suitable)
containing this single line:
MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1
I don't expect that this addition can do any harm to non-touchscreen
installations, but please make a quick test before deployment.
For reference, see

Thanks in advance!
All the best,
Nick
