When you pinch does it jump between zoom levels in large increments or is it smooth? The large jumping was the old behavior – check about:config's browser.gesture.pinch settings are all empty and not mapped to ctrl+ or anything. I haven't tried on Windows but on macOS the native zoom is smooth and pretty good

As a last ditch attempt you could try https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/multi-touch-z...

But if that doesn't work it may hint that pinch gestures aren't being passed to firefox properly; try pinch zooming on maps.google.com, if that doesn't work then maybe there's a deeper issue going on

It no longer jumps in big increments but it's still janky and very much non-native.

Why do you mean by non-native?

If it's janky it might "just" be a performance issue. If you could grab a profile from profiler.firefox.com that would be much appreciated

By non-native I mean non-native. I am definitely not going to do that, I will simply keep using Edge.

I'm really struggling to understand what you mean by "non-native" other than "different to edge". But even that's not useful: different how? Too fast, too slow, too sensitive, not sensitive enough?
