Stage 1: Definition
1. Feature overview
The basic idea of this feature is to add support for trackpad gestures to the Mozilla product line. This feature is important because it would improve ease of use. The planned gestures are: 2 finger scroll, standard zoom gestures, press and hold for a right click menu, 3 finger swiping for switching between tabs, a 3 finger pinch for entering panorama "Firefox only" "with a reverse counterpart," and others as suggested.
2. Users & use cases
The users for this featureset are laptop users, users of touchscreen-but-mainline-OS machines, Mac users, and users who have disabilities or preferences which make regular mice uncomfortable or unusable.

Non-goals
The idea is not to completely switch from our current interfacing, but to simply to support touch gestures in addition to our current UX components.
