Use a Mac? Like Firefox? Browsing the web just got a bit easier!

The latest beta version of Mozilla’s Firefox browser brings built-in support for the multitouch trackpads on modern Mac notebooks. Back in October, Mozilla’s Eddie Lee produced an experimental version of Firefox that allowed Mac users to control the browser with multifingered gestures. In v3.2 Beta 2, those gestures have been made official.

I gave it a try, and the gestures are even better than those in Apple’s own browser, Safari. Here’s the list of what you can do, provided by MacRumors. “Swipe” means a three fingered sweep:

* Swipe Left: Go back in history (hold Command to open it in a tab)
* Swipe Right: Go forward in history
* Swipe Up: Go to the top of the page
* Swipe Down: Go to the end of the page
* Pinch Together: Zoom out
* Pinch Apart: Zoom in
* Twist Right: Next tab
* Twist Left: Previous tab
