Couple of basic questions to start with:


Are you using Safari? Those gestures don't work in Firefox.


Have you got the right settings in  > System Preferences.. Trackpad | Scroll & Zoom?

Glad you solved it!


Safari takes a bit of getting used to. Actually, for many years as a Mac user I used to only use Firefox, but then they went on this scheduled upgrade thing every 6 months and I got tired of my 1Password and Snag It scroller extensions being broken for a month at a time twice a year.


Safari's had its ups and downs over the years, but the current release is pretty good, and wait till you see the Mountain Lion version! 🙂. Last time I looked at FFX (13, I think just came out, right?), it looked and felt pretty dated in comparison.
