Steps to reproduce:

Scrolled with kinetic scrolling enabled and attempted to stop scrolling by placing my fingers back down on the trackpad.

Actual results:

Page continued to scroll.

Expected results:

Page should stop scrolling, or at least there should be a flag for this like there is for other kinetic scrolling settings.

This can be accomplished by using the relatively-new libinput hold gesture (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/merge_requests/602), which I expect was not available when this kinetic scrolling feature was implemented. It would be an incredible usability enhancement.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Panning and Zooming' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Panning and Zooming
Product: Firefox → Core

This is tracked in bug 1568722. In addition to libinput, we need GTK support for the hold gesture to land as well.
