Sorry, MozTouchMove is only supported in Firefox 4 for Windows 7 tablets.

We're working on adding touch event support to mobile Firefox using the same touchstart/touchmove/touchend events as Safari and other mobile browsers. For details (and an early test version) see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=544614

We're currently hoping to include this feature in Firefox 6, which will be released in August 2011.

I know that Firefox6 has support for touch and I see in the bug for iPhone and Android. Was aupport added for Windows 7? Specifically touch events are *not* working for me in Windows 7 with the new w3c specs but the old API is working. Any clarification I can get is appreciated. Thanks!

Firefox 6 for Windows 7 still uses the old "MozTouch" events, while Firefox 6 for Android uses the standard "touchstart"/"touchmove" events.

Sorry for the confusion! We will eventually move to the new standard events on all platforms, but I don't know when that will happen.

Thanks! That clears up things. Is there a bug I can track for that? Else I'll just keep on the lookout for the change announcement. Thanks again!
