Firefox Scrolling Gesture in Tablet Mode is Interpreted as Text-Drag

I'm running arch with xfce on a Lenovo Yoga. Hyfetch returns as follows:

---------------------- 
OS: Arch Linux x86_64 
Host: 20JES0YU00 ThinkPad X1 Yoga 2nd 
Kernel: 6.14.4-arch1-1 
Uptime: 17 mins 
Packages: 749 (pacman) 
Shell: bash 5.2.37 
Resolution: 1920x1080 
DE: Xfce 4.20 (x11) 
WM: Xfwm4 
WM Theme: Colloid-Dark 
Theme: Colloid-Dark [GTK2/3]

Terminal: xfce4-terminal 
Terminal Font: Monospace 12

GPU: Intel HD Graphics 620 
Memory: 2.05 GiB / 7.49 GiB (27%)

Bluetooth: Intel Corp. Bluetooth wireless interface 
BIOS: LENOVO 1.50 (11/15/2023) 

Additionally I have installed Touchegg.

I would like to use my laptop in tablet mode to browse the web. However scrolling gesture selects text instead of advancing the page. I have been following the following wiki pages:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Tablet_PC
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Firefox/Tweaks

However I have not observed any changes.
I have tried the following steps:

1. Install wacom driver

   $ sudo pacman -S xf86-input-wacom

2. Enable Touchscreen Gestures in Firefox

   dom.w3c_touch_events.enabled = 1

   (Was originally set to 2)

3. Set Environment Variables

   $ env MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1

4. Disable xwacom input

   $ xsetwacom --set "Wacom Pen and multitouch sensor Finger touch" Gesture off

5. Relog

I have not observed any change in behaviour after any step. Any ideas how to diagnose this or what else to try?
Greetings
