I was wondering if any of you get three-finger swiping back/forward in system preferences.

I could have sworn it worked in the store, but it doesn't work on my unit.

It works fine everywhere else (Finder, FFx, etc.) but not in system preferences. Just wondering...
 
Nope, it does not work in System Preferences on my Rev C MacBook Air. I would assume this is because you do not typically go deep into System Preferences so it is not really needed.
 
Works great for me in Firefox. I was using the delete button until I tried the 3-finger swipe. I don't see a way to change it in preference...it just works...

EDIT: just re-read your post. I don't see a way to change the settings either...

I believe that they are talking about trying to go back and forth in System Preferences using the three finger swipe rather than the trackpad options in System Preferences.
 
Works fine on my MBP. The same preference pane as coolbreeze's and it doesn't seem to be able to change the settings. Maybe through terminal?

By the way, I didn't know it works in FF... Thank you, guys.
