Multi-touch Gestures support was added a while ago and the Error Console should support this feature.
Flags: wanted1.9.1?
I think as a first step gGestureSupport should be generalized and moved to toolkit. It should probably be a component or a javascript module that each window can call to setup what ever gestures they want to support. And apparently Windows7  will support some sort of multi-touch functionality. Fennec would probably want this as well so setting platform/OS to all/all.

Summary: Three finger swipe up/down does not scroll to top/bottom in the Error Console → Multi-Touch Gestures support should be moved to toolkit and generalized so that other windows/applications can use them
Well OK so "Spatial Navigation" isn't exactly the right component but I'm leaving it here until someone finds a more appropriate component.
Version: 1.9.1 Branch → Trunk
What exactly is the goal of this bug? Any window/app can listen for Moz*Gesture and handle the behavior accordingly. Generalizing beyond that doesn't seem to make much sense.. other than swipe up/down, which seems to work well for scroll to top/bottom. But the action could be anything like open a new tab or show all open tabs, etc.
FYI about error console.. its display is just a bunch of box siblings.
(Oh and back to the original bug in comment 0, swipe up/down could be top/bottom while left/right switches among All/Errors/Warnings/Messages.)
Edward, so shall we move it back to Error Console than?

This bug's parent component is going away. Should this bug be moved to an equivalent component in Android or iOS?

Moving to toolkit::general.

This is the code that could be generalized in toolkit/content:
