Steps to reproduce:

Touch scrolling is not enabled out-of-the-box on Linux. Apparently, there is some way to enable it with about:config and environment variables (MOZ_USE_XINPUT) but if I just launch firefox with a new empty profile, it doesn't work. Many modern work laptops have touch now, so this should be fixed.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install firefox on a laptop with touschscreen and Linux
2. Start firefox with a fresh profile
3. Browse to a longer page that requires scrolling
4. Put finger on screen and drag to scroll


Actual results:

it doesn't work


Expected results:

it works
