Inappropriate?I am having the same disappointment. I was really hoping there would be a way to enable them. Their absence is really disruptive to workflow.
I’m frustrated and considering going back to FFox

Inappropriate?Hi Adam and Michael,
What exactly are Multi-Touch Trackpad Gestures? I can not find the extension anywhere.
Thanks,

Inappropriate?All of the newer Mac portables have a multi-touch track pad, eg. in Safari and FF, swiping left and right with 3 fingers on the trackpad is the same as pressing the back and forward buttons...
I will be completely honest, I have un-installed flock and gone back to Safari due to this lack of functionality... It has almost been a year since the wide release of multi-touch, I figured a browser would have this functionality already... -
Inappropriate?All,
Upon further investigation, I have found that Trackpad gestures are not supported by Flock.
Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.

Inappropriate?So is this something that Flock may implement in the future? (hopefully near future) It's a fantastic way to browse! I'm slowly converting back to Safari because of it.
I’m undecided

Inappropriate?Multitouch works just fine in Firefox on OS X, so I'm wondering why Flock doesn't have it as well. I'm testing out Flock for a week and leaving Firefox alone during this same period, and so far it's been irritating to do the 3-finger swipe left and not go Back. I then click the Delete button on the keyboard to go back. Another nice 3-finger swipe was up or down, which would instantly jump you to the top or bottom of the page, respectively--a great thing for long pages, like My World or Feeds.
I hope that multitouch will be incorporated in the development timeline, or that it will naturally be integrated once a newer build of Firefox is used as the foundation.
I’m hopeful

Inappropriate?Honestly, if the official stance isn't to support multi-touch, I have no reason to support this program. All of the social network stuff is great, but if I can't use basic OS functionality, it's worthless. Uninstalling now, but I may check back if this gets supported.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Hello all,
The reason that we do not support trackpad gestures is because we are based on Mozilla's ff 3.0 codebase; a codebase that does not have trackpad gestures. We will have the pref necessary to run the gestures once we shift to Firefox 3.5 codebase.
Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused!
