Is it possible to disable zoom in Firefox altogether?

I work as a web developer and sometimes those odd off pixels is caused by the page being unintentionally zoomed in Firefox.

I do most of my work on a MacBook Unibody, where it's quite easy to activate pinch zoom unintentionally. Just being able to disable pinch zoom (in Firefox only) would be a great help too.

In FireFox you can go to the " about:config " page to change the way the browser handels gestures including pinch for zoom. Just filter for gesture and change the behavior there:

Awesome. Exactly what I was looking for. Setting browser.gesture.pinch.in / browser.gesture.pinch.out to null seems to have disabled pinch zoom. Thanks for helping out! – Peter Farsinsen Dec 15 '09 at 15:21

I believe the program 'Multiclutch' will do this for you. I have had no personal experience with it though so have a bit of a read first :)
