I recently had a small need to sign up two new Google Apps accounts and setup calendar sharing between them. So I naturally open up Safari as my second browser of choice and go to the sign-up page, only to notice that rather than the standard 7.2GB of space, I only get 2.7GB when signing up with Safari. Not willing to temp fate, I closed Safari and signed up through Firefox. Interesting!

If you’re one of the lucky ones to be able to get one of the latest MacBooks with Multi-Touch, you’ve probably asked the same question I have: “How can I get Firefox to use the swipe gesture to go forwards and backwards like Safari does?”

Answer: MultiClutch

This neat little Preference Pane addition will allow you to associate trackpad gestures with keyboard shortcuts; per application.

So this gives you exactly what you’re looking for: navigation for Firefox 3 (beta) via trackpad gestures. Only apps built with Cocoa are supported right now, so this won’t work with Firefox 2, sorry!
