"Hide" application: happening via trackpad input in Firefox
Okay. Here's the story.
I am running Firefox (3.1b2) that now supports the new MacBook Pro trackpad multitouch gestures (left-right 3-finger swipe to go forward and back), up-down 3-finger swipe to go to top and bottom, and pinch to zoom in and out. (Same things as Safari), as well as tab switching by "twisting" right and left.
The only gesture that isn't working is the zoom in and out. On the mozilla forums, I confirmed that for everyone else, these are working.
As I said, Pinch in and out for zooming doesn't do work.
However, if I do a "zoom out" gesture (reverse pinch) an equal (=) sign appears in whatever text box is selected.
When I do a "zoom in" gesture (pinch), nothing happens. If I do a zoom out-in-out (reverse pinch--pinch--reverse pinch), the FFx window disappears and app is found in the Dock in 'hidden mode' (icon is partially transparent).
This is clearly an issue with Firefox. Figuring it was some incompatibilty with a previously-installed extension, I completely uninstalled Firefox (using CleanApp) and reinstalled from scratch (with a new profile) and no extensions installed. This had no effect on the behavior described above.
I've posted the question in the mozilla forums but so far everyone seems baffled. (There, all believed that creating a new profile with no extensions would solve the problem).
Anyway, I thought I'd post this here in the event that any of your geniuses might have a solution.
Thanks!
