Three finger swipe with touchpad

I've recently installed Arch Linux on my 4,1 Macbook Pro alongside MacOSX.  Almost everything is working well except that I can't get applications (i.e. Firefox) to recognize three finger gestures.  My touchpad definitely supports this mode in MacOSX, and three finger middleclick is working properly in Linux.  I don't believe this is an application settings error -- at least in Firefox browser.gesture.swipe.up and browser.gesture.swipe.down have the proper settings.  Additionally, I don't believe this is a DE error (I use Gnome 3 fallback) because I deactivated org > gnome > settings-daemon > plugins > mouse in the dconf-editor.  Thanks for your help.

10-synaptics.conf:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "touchpad catchall"
        Driver "synaptics"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Option "TapButton1" "1"
        Option "TapButton2" "3"
        Option "TapButton3" "2"
        Option "SHMConfig"  "on"
        Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "On"
        Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "On"
EndSection
