- Rated 3 out of 5by pianobadger, 5 years agoI've been using Gesturefy for years. It's a great add-on and I appreciate the new features in 3.0, but getting rid of everyone's custom gestures without even giving them some way to view a list of what they were was not great. It is in fact quite annoying.
Also, the option to have the same gesture perform different actions depending on whether or not is it started on a link has been removed, which sucks.
Since I have to rebuilt my gestures from scratch and a useful functionality has been removed, this seems like a great time to see what else is currently available.Developer response
posted 5 years agoIt was not planned that gestures would be lost! Actually, all gestures should be adopted, which worked in our tests and in my case. But for some others apparently not. - Rated 5 out of 5by daishan, 5 years agoHave used many gesture extensions over the years, but this is my favourite by far. looks great, great interface, works smoothly, and latest update is fantastic. thanks!

- Rated 5 out of 5by άƈεƥ, 5 years agoу версії 3,0,0 жест коліщатка перестав перемикати між першою вкладкою й останньою вкладкою.
in version 3.0.0 the wheel gesture stopped switching between first tab and last tab
edited: Thank you. Tab cycling works againDeveloper response
posted 5 years agoHi. Do you mean Tab cycling doesn't work anymore? Then recreate the gesture and make sure cycling is enabled.
Look here: https://github.com/Robbendebiene/Gesturefy/issues/471 - Rated 5 out of 5by leetleyang, 5 years agov3.0.0 in FF 77.0.1 on macOS 10.14.6 (mouse customisation via Logi Options). Unable to create new gestures as gestures won't register. Conflict with Logi?
Update: resetting Gesturefy from the 'About' page--as suggested by Itchiii re: issue 472--sorted it out. Thanks.Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14042803, 5 years agoBest there is. Can't use FF without it. Would be great if it allowed a 'legacy' mode that followed the previous behavior, but not a deal break for me at least.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Chase, 5 years agoLost all my gestures suddenly with an update and back-ups won't restore. Also am unable to set up new gestures now (right-clicking in the Add New Gesture area doesn't record a gesture). Neat.

It is very inconvenient to use the new mechanics.

posted 5 years agoHi. 3.0 offers a completely new way of making gestures and we always wanted Gesturefy's gestures to work the way they do now. Try something out and maybe you will like the new art. It allows you to define any shape for a gesture. - Rated 1 out of 5by Badgeguy, 5 years agoNo Warning! Lost All Of My Gestures! The upgrade to 3.0 wiped out all of my settings and configuration. Not even a courtesy backup in a file somewhere. Now Gesturefy will do NOTHING until I spend the time trying to rebuild what I had created over the last couple of years from memory. Thanks for destroying my work.

posted 5 years agoHi.
We're really sorry about that.
3.0 offers a completely new way of making gestures, and we can never rule out the possibility of mistakes, but we did a lot of testing in advance to rule out most of them. We never had the case that the settings got lost.
Please understand that we are humans and have been developing this addon in our spare time for "the last couple of years". - Rated 4 out of 5by Alex , 5 years agoWhy are we forced to choose between left and right click?
I would like to change page zoom with the left hold and scroll between pages with the right hold, while scrolling the wheel.
I would also want to be able to close active tabs with right hold and middle click combination. - Rated 5 out of 5by ccc, 5 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by seeley, 5 years agoThis is a great addon but is there any way what-so-ever to deactivate/kill (or delay for 1 second) the firefox right-click context menu (ff 76, win7) that pops up almost every time I use mouse gestures? This context menu really spoils the experience of mouse gestures. (I need to use the right mouse button as I do on other browsers- to keep the same habit across browsers). Thanks.
Thanks for your reply. With "dom.event.contextmenu.enabled" and "ui.context_menus.after_mouseup" already set to true, I'm still seeing this problem occur at the end of the gesture. Not all of the time. Occurs when the mouse motion stops before I release the right mouse button which is quite often. Windows 7 x64 with FF 76 running 2 additional Addons: uBlockOrigin and CookieQuickManager. Can this context menu be KILLED?Developer response
