[opensuse-factory] Firefox pixel-by-pixel two-finger scrolling?
I'm running Tumbleweed on my laptop. Firefox doesn't have pixel-by-pixel scrolling the way Chrome/Chromium do. That is to say, when I do a two-finger scroll gesture on my laptop's touchpad, Firefox scrolls three lines at a time as if I was using a scroll wheel, rather than one pixel at a time, in accordance with how fast I move my fingers. Firefox has this feature in Fedora. Is Red Hat patching Firefox to add the feature or something? How can I get it in Firefox on openSUSE?

Found the answer: run Firefox with "export MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1", or add it to to ~/.bash_profile or /etc/bash.bashrc. Firefox is now much nicer with my touchpad. Would there be any interest in making this change in the openSUSE Firefox package so that everybody gets it? Or maybe somehow applying it only for laptop users?

Talkin about Firefox...I noticed one thing that has changed in TW, and two things I would consider as broken (or maybe have configuration as well): 1) when scolling down the page, I used to click into the slider bar at the right side, somewhere below the slider. Up to now it scrolled down one page each click, now it goes down the page, mostly to the bottom. Anyone aware where/how to change this? 2) FF seems to use some caching. When I put the laptop to sleep and open it again later - same or other network - FF fires a 'page-not-found' error. You need to restart FF to make it work again 3) When the Network you are using requires a login, FF now shows a bar that says 'a login to the network may be required' and shows 2 buttons: Open login page and advanced. Open login page does - nothing Advanced shows a certificate error , that usually appears when the page you want to open redirects to the login page. Worakround: try to remember a page that still uses http to get redirected to the login page.....

I've noticed the same things, and I've filed a bug for the two-finger scrolling issue: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1032003 If someone can point me to the relevant documentation, I'd be happy to submit a patch with whatever the accepted solution turns out to be. Nate
