- Rated 3 out of 5by Red Fox, 6 years agoSeems to work, but one drawback make me to uninstall this add-on. After the gesture "Back" - move mouse from right to left it seems that something makes the status of "Ctrl" key as "pressed infinitely". So after this gesture the mouse wheel works as the Zoom In-Out of page instead of normal scrolling. Maybe I should change something in add-on options, but I have not found anything to correct this problem.

Disable the wheel zoom feature in that extension

- Rated 5 out of 5by dohanin, 6 years agoI like this extension.
It would be great if you can add 2 more built-in commands: go to first/last page in current tab history. Currently, I can make it work by making use of user scripts like below:
/* go to first page in history of current tab */ for(let i = 0; i < window.history.length; i++) {window.history.go(-i);}
/* go to last page in history of current tab */ for(let i = 0; i < window.history.length; i++) {window.history.go(i);}
Besides, I noticed some comments saying thie extension doesn't work on firefox's pages (like this one). This is not the limitation of this extension. It is the restriction introduced by Firefox on ALL extensions. And it can be bypassed by about:config:
extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains (empty it, create this string first if it's not there)
privacy.resistFingerprinting.block_mozAddonManager (set it to true, create this boolean first if it's not there) - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14017258, 6 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14013359, 6 years agoOne of few working addons with customized mouse gestures, but have pretty slow response (lag) of like 800ms.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12337062, 6 years agoБазовые функции выполняет, что отлично. Не FireGestures конечно, но...
With basic functions work well. Good addon - Rated 3 out of 5by PeterCPH, 6 years agoIts okay. but definitely not as good as the good old fire gestures in pre-quantum firefox. It doesnt work on all kind of pages. E.x. not this page.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Wingpin, 6 years agoOn stable release 59.0.2 at the time of review.
Worked great when it works, but it seems to have the right click button held on even after gesture is complete. So when I scroll up or down, it zooms in and out until I press the right click button again. It seems to be linked to rocker gestures and wheel gestures; with both off there is no issue. This is also a problem in a similar add-on called Gesturefy, but the frequency of 'error' is greater with this add-on.
I never had this problem with the original FireGestures; maybe this is API related.
Edit: Found out that this is a conflict between Foxy Gestures and Zoom Page WE, so if anyone has the same problem then you'd have to disable right-click and scroll function in Zoom Page WE so there is no interference. - Rated 5 out of 5by iioiooioo, 6 years agoThis is the best gesture support for a browser in existence. Well done, thank you!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13911315, 6 years agodoes not work with touch screen and ask for way too much permissions...

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13078201, 6 years agoNice & simple, I like it.
However, it leaves the r-click menu open after a tab close; that's rather annoying. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13892325, 6 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Fonzie!, 6 years agoAdd a gesture-box for View Page Info and I'll rate 5 stars!
Other than missing one box, it's perfect! - Rated 2 out of 5by Tobz, 6 years agoWorks really well. Only gripe is the amount of permissions it asks for.
You definitely don't need all those mate.
Will 5 star once permissions are reduced to only the necessary ones.Developer response
posted 6 years agoI explained why I needed the permissions in the description. Anyway, now that I moved to optional permissions it not an issue anymore. - Rated 5 out of 5by Jonathan Cardona Rojas, 6 years agoThank you so much for this. FireGestures was essential. It's great to have mouse gestures again.
