[SOLVED] Getting Firefox to work with touchscreen, touchpad

How to get finger gesture scrolling and zoom on Firefox. At the moment, stroking the window area of Firefox does nothing.

(I will be writing up answer below, because I've already solved it)

From solution: linux - Enable touch-scrolling in Firefox - Super User

For Zorin OS Pro 16 (I will upgrade to 17 and test there later).

type

sudo vi /etc/security/pam_env.conf

go to the end of the file and add this line:

MOZ_USE_XINPUT2 DEFAULT=0       OVERRIDE=1

(there's 7 spaces inbetween DEFAULT=0 and OVERRIDE=1 ). I don't know if this makes any difference.

I think I rebooted. And it works great!

Further information: my tablet touchpad/touchscreen PC is a Panasonic FZ-G1 MkIII Toughpad x86-64 tablet PC. The above answer I posted works well on this device.
