Unable to zoom in or out...

Unable to use trackpad for zoom in or out with pinch gestures. Only happens with Firefox. I am not a programmer but can do very basic fixes only! Thanks for any advice. Shall be using other browser till it is fixed - I have just recently tried Firefox and like it apart from this.

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReduce</b>
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> <b>cmd_fullZoomEnlarge</b>
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> <b>false</b>
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

  • Unable to Zoom out when in "Help Topic"

    I'm using MacBook Pro 10.6.2.
    I am able to zoom in by pressing Command plus "=" but once I zoom in I can not zoom out. This seems to only happen when I'm using "Help". I tried pressing Command "-" but doesn't work. I can not use the two fingers to zoom in nor out.
    I do not have any problems in Safari.
    This seems to only happen using the "Help Topic". Weird thing is, after waiting a few minutes, I would press Command "=" and the page would reset to actual size. I can zoom in to max and it would stop. Then wait a few minutes and reopen "Help Topic" and if I'm lucky the zoom in would reset to screen to actual size.
    I believe this may a bug. Is there any fix?

    It doesn't happen here, so either I'm not understanding correctly what you're doing (I'm assuming that this is in Safari, from your Safari comment, and that 'using the "Help Topic"' means that you have the Safari help window open) or it's a problem unique to your machine.

  • I know I've heard that iPads/iPhones can't get viruses but is it possible that they can? While using my iPad, it keeps going in and out of apps. On Facebook, status and profiles keep getting clicked and it keeps zooming in and out. Can anyone help

    I Have an iPad mini, iOS 8.1. When I'm on my iPad, it keeps going in and out of random apps. Going to settings is the worse. As soon as I click settings and it opens,it starts clicking different things and tries turning on and off settings! In Facebook, profiles and status get clicked. The screen zooms in and out multiple times. It reminds me of when you call the help desk for a computer or a computer at work and they gain access and move around clicking and you're doing nothing. Basically things are being clicked and I'm not doing it.....can anyone help?

    At this point, I would go for reset to its factory default condition, using the iTunes program to get a clean system install. That way you'll clean everything out and just have it set up the way it would come from the factory. You'll need to do your backup (on the iTunes program too) and be sure you understand which stuff will be saved and which will not (from the links below). Also turn off any anti-virus program you may have on your desktop. Then when you reset it to the factory default condition, don't restore your backup just yet ... until you check it out without your data put back on it. Verify its operation first, to make sure that you know it's okay. Hopefully everything is okay at that point, otherwise you'll have to take it into Apple to check it out for any hardware failure.

  • Pinch in and out on trackpad not working to zoom in and out in firefox

    Ever since i bought my macbook pro (early 2011) I was able to use the pinch in and out trackpad feature to zoom in and out in firefox. This suddenly stopped working a couple of days ago. It still works in safari so this seems to be Firefox specific. All other trackpad features are still working too.
    I uninstalled Firefox on my mac by moving the Firefox icon to the trash and downloaded/installed it again. Note that i didn't delete my profile (just deleted the Firefox icon) so all bookmarks were preserved even after downloading and installing Firefox from scratch. This didn't help fixing the issue.
    Any ideas on this problem ? how to fix it?
    Thanks!

    All these programs seem to be for windows. I am facing the issues with firefox on a macbook pro.
    I wasn't suggesting resetting Firefox. I have already done this step a couple of days ago as I was facing connectivity issues with some websites completely freezing and not loading. reset didn't help. I started seeing the trackpad issue around the time i did the reset.
    I am wondering if uninstalling Firefox and deleting all data associated with it (profiles etc) would fix the issue. Can you advise on what should be deleted with firefox?

  • I have model A1458...been acting possessed.... apps opening and closing on their own...zooming in and out... not always responsive to my touch... what could be the problem?

    The two most likely culprits would be a faulty cable/charging block or a bad digitizer. Try charging the device with a different charger and cable. If the problem goes away, then the problem is with your charger. If it does not, try the basics of resetting, restoriing from back up, restoring as new. If you still have the problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store for evaluation.

  • How do I zoom in and out on a clip using final cut pro 6?

    I have searched around and I haven't found anything about how to zoom in and out on non-still video. I am sure there is some simple explanation as of how to do this but I can't seem to find it. If you guys could help me out that would be great. Thanks.

    Double click the clip in the Timeline, to place it in the viewer.
    In the Viewer window click the Motion tab. Adjust the "Scale" control and set keyframes as needed.

  • In version 4.0 I can't use the pinch feature on my trackpad to zoom in and out. Is there a setting in Firefox for this?

    I installed v4.0 of Firefox and can no longer use the pinch feature on the trackpad of my MacBook. It seems to work OK in Safart and I'm wondering if there is a setting in Firefox to enable me to use that feature. The way the feature works is that you pinch your thumb & forefinger together or spread them apart to zoom in and out.

  • I can't zoom in and out using the scroll wheel

      so i want to zoom in and out on photoshop how i always have...using ctrl and scroll wheel...
    but when i went to do it how i naturally do it, it didnt work..after some research i found you go into preferences, general and tick the box about zoom scroll or somthing.
    Yet when i go onto it i dont have any options about zooming !!?? from what ive seen i have less options than others.
    and im pretty sure it isnt only available on newer version..because i have done it before on really old photoshop versions.
    so any help would be appriciated, thanks

    Photoshop 7 doesn't have a preference for using  Zoom With Scroll Wheel like cs2 and later do, but holding down the Alt key and using the scroll wheel should work
    to zoom in or out.
    Does the Alt key work if you make a selection and then use Alt+Ctrl+D to bring up the Feather dialog?
    Does the scroll wheel work to change the layer blend modes by duplicating the layer and highlighting
    the layer blend mode of Normal in the layers palette and then using the scroll wheel to change blend modes?
