The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

This seems be handled in https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/base/content/browser-gestureSupport.js, but not sure which component is the best fit, so start with FireFox : General.

It's APZ. This bug may be a regression. I am not sure yet though.

Probably this line

https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/5e0c42441a93d7a2307d3baa49d3a15f553d6757/browser/base/content/browser-gestureSupport.js#194

if those prefs are changed at all (even if swapped) then that disables any history navigation with swiping.

Looks like it's been originally there.
