Mozilla Firefox: How do you do back/forward with the trackpad?

Using Safari, the 3 finger slide to the left and right enables you to go back and forward between web pages.

Does anyone know how to make this possible for Mozilla? I have downloaded it and it does not have the same functioning. Thank you!

I have the 3.5 Beta (at RC status, I believe). The three finger navigation works for me, just as you described.

I just checked. 3.0.11 does NOT support the three finger navigation.

Try the beta.

The version of FireFox you're using apparently doesn't take advantage of that functionality in your trackpad. Version 3.0.10, which I have, doesn't use it either. Camino 1.6.7, my usual browser, does support three-finger forward-and-back. So to fix your problem, which is actually Firefox's problem, you can either upgrade to the beta version of FF that was mentioned above, or you can use a different web browser.
