in Firefox,tips and tricks

Normally on Mac,  three finger swipe up will bring the top of the page in Firefox 4 and similarly three finger swipe down will takes you to the bottom of the page, but these gestures changed after Firefox 4 Beta 7 release which now enters you into Panorama.

To make Firefox 4 to bring top/bottom of the page with three finger Swipe up and down gestures,

1. Type about:config in the address bar and continue by clicking “I’ll be careful, I promise!”.

2. Now Set browser.gesture.swipe.down command to cmd_scrollBottom

and set browser.gesture.swipe.up command to cmd_scrollTop

You can also install restartless swipe Top add-on to scroll to top of the page.

You can also add additional “shift” commands to about:config…
For instance I do like using panorama so I made a command for browser.gesture.swipe.up.shift to restore the three finger swipe up to go to the top of a page. The only difference is I have to hold the shift key while swiping.

how do you make it so that you can do that on other browsers, like safari or google chrome ?
