'Touchscreen gestures are not working in Firefox on Windows 10/11 despite being enabled in the settings

I am running Firefox on a 2-1 Lenovo windows laptop and none of the touchscreen or touchpad gestures works. It is like they are not enabled but they are.

Swipe left or right on the screen should trigger navigation back / forward but nothing happens. Similar with the touchpad. The only gesture that works is pinch zoom on the touchpad.

Touch appears to be configured in the settings (default values)

browser.gesture settings

Update: There is a new experimental trackpad swipe gesture. Go to about:config and set widget.disable-swipe-tracker to false. This made swipe navigation start working on my touchpad.

Any idea about how to get touch enabled on the touch screen as well?

This issue persists reinstall of windows / Firefox and I have never seen touchscreen gestures work in Firefox on this device.
