User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.10; rv:37.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/37.0
Build ID: 20141212030201

Steps to reproduce:

Try to go back in history with a 2 finger swipe gesture on my macbook trackpad.


Actual results:

The gesture does not work and even worse, after using the gesture scrolling with the trackpad stops working, too.


Expected results:

The previous page should have been loaded.
OK, now that I've filed the bug, I can't reproduce it anymore. It happened several times though and I always had to restart the browser because of that.

Are you using Nightly with e10s enabled?

The crash is bug 1089638 coming back to life, and is unrelated.
This feature isn't turned on by default (see bug 860493). Since there's major work going on that could impact this feature (see bug 860493 comment 65), it's unlikely that this will be turned on by default in the near future. And since any new implementation of history swipe animations will have to ensure that this bug here doesn't occur, there's really no point in keeping this bug open.

Oops, I wrongly assumed that this was referring to swipe animations. The swipe gesture without animations however was a feature that used to work and most likely broke with the e10s work, so reopening and cc'ing mstange.

Yes, I have e10s enabled and this is not about swipe animations since I don't have these enabled (they are far from usable atm). I still don't know what triggers this behavior but I'll report back as soon as I know more.
This sounds a lot like bug 927702.
That's most probably the bug I experienced, though I experienced it on Yosemite. Also I have no idea what triggered it and why it didn't come up again yet.

I updated the bug's summary earlier this week after there were many comments there saying it persists in Yosemite (after starting in 10.9). :-(

It's unfortunate because it seems to be an OS-level bug (other people see the same issue in Safari).

I'm going to tentatively mark this as a duplicate... please reopen if you think it is distinct.
