- Rated 5 out of 5by RatWorks, 7 years agoKeep up the good work, it's very much appreciated.
I wish people wouldn't rate add-on's down because they don't do things that aren't possible to do anymore. Actually, I just hope that doesn't annoy you anything like it annoys me :) Developer response
posted 7 years agoRocker gestures are 95% finished, just doing a lot of testing. Coming soon.- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13352520, 7 years agowhen I'm using linux, the right click will instantly open a right-click-menu, so addons can be drawn correctly. Maybe is the way linux handles mouse events.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12947434, 7 years agoI need "Search for Selection in New Tab".
please add gesture. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13359274, 7 years agoit's good, but adding touchpad gesture makes it better
- Rated 5 out of 5by Max, 7 years agoLooking good.
But still far from CentBrowser Gestures experience
Please add gestures:
• close current tab & open left one
• close current tab & open right one
really missing those when working on FF
Thanks - Rated 5 out of 5by YF, 7 years agoWorks as designed. It does not provide all feature that older extensions like firegesture provided, but works smoothly.
Wood love the following features:
- Option to protect fixed tabs from closing by gesture
- Make gestures work on all tabs. Also support internal pages like add-ons pages (perhaps an option to include/exclude certain url ranges)
Keep on the great work - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12741840, 7 years agoThanks for bringing mouse gestures to the nex firefox extension model. I'm in love with mouse gestures since their early days in the original Opera Browser and I cannot image to use a browser without them.
Thanks for bringing them back. :) - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 10579522, 7 years agoI'm happy to see this functionality available in v.57, which initially strikes me as limited, but hopefully that will change ... having my Close Tab and Open Link in New Tab functions available with gestures is great ... couldn't find a way to add a Navigate to Upper URL Level yet, tho, something that was in FireGestures ... Mark- thanks for your work on this extension and I'm sure Gomita would be happy to see this :)
- Rated 5 out of 5by Steffen Langer, 7 years agoGreat add-on. Thank you for the great work, Mark!
I am looking forward to seeing rocker gestures in 1.0.9.
Cheers,
Steffen - Rated 3 out of 5by CEBMetal, 7 years agoBut it's not working on my first PC (Linux Mint 18.2 64bits) : when I right click, trail is drawn but a menu appears and after, there's no action.
With the same version of FF on Windows 10 on my other, Foxy Gestures works perfectly ...Developer response
posted 7 years agoPlease read the addon description again. The reason is stated at the bottom. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13325296, 7 years agoThere are already many requests for this, but this simply can't be stressed enough - working on "about:*" and new tabs is simply essential, without it the workflow can be very un-smooth. Moreover, please include as many built in commands as possible from Firegestures (view image for example is missing, but very useful), not everyone can write scripts after all.

posted 7 years agoIf you are missing a command, request it on GitHub. Web extensions don't have access to about: and internal pages, and will never be supported unless Mozilla decides to provide access to them. - Rated 2 out of 5by Thany, 7 years agoDoesn't work in a new tab. Speaking of which, a new tab, in my config, is supposed to open speed dial. Ctrl+T does that, but this addons somehow doesn't do that. Just do Ctrl+T, okay?
Also doesn't work in the addons tab, or in the preferences.
Also the rocker gesture is missing. (Hold left + press right -> forward, hold right + press left -> backward)
Also why is the config UI so...? For instance, why is the mouse button drop down as wide as my screen??
A LOT of work is still needed.Developer response
posted 7 years agoYour problem with the UI aside, everything else you've mentioned is web extensions limitations. Not working on internal pages is stated in bold right up there in the addon description. Rocker gestures are work-in-progress and will arrive eventually. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13243477, 7 years agoNow I won't have to switch to another browser :D
Could you also add support for the ability to switch between browser tabs using the mousewheel? That was my most-often used feature in the previous add-on.Developer response
posted 7 years agoYou can change tabs with a wheel gesture. If you mean by scrolling the mouse wheel on the tab strip, then that is not something that is possible to implement anymore. See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1285812 - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13313662, 7 years agoIt can be a good replacement for Firegestures if it works on empty and option tabs. Gestures works flawlessly.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13306693, 7 years agoVery nice expansion. Can you support Chinese?
or
I want to be able to adapt to the system language to change the extended language。 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13294092, 7 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by stib , 7 years agoThis surpasses FireGestures in some ways, the configuration page is well thought out, and the user scripts option is great. However the context-menu thing on OSX is a dealbreaker at the moment. The whole point of gestures is ease of use, and that doesn't happen if you have the context menu in your way all the time.
I hope the devs can fix it before firegestures stops working. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 6141590, 7 years agoReally hoping it will be possible to draw gestures on empty tabs or about pages, before ff57 breaks firegestures. Keep up the good work. The configuration menu is very nice. Would like a gesture option for "home" (for some reason gestures aren't working on this particular page either).
- Rated 5 out of 5by tpiom, 7 years agoI've been a FireGestures user for some time and this addon has replaced all of my needs (I only use four commands anyway)
The only thing I'll miss is interacting with pages like about:addons. I see it says that it can't but is that for now or like... ever (as in: 'it just won't work'?)
Anyway!
thank you for this! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13270182, 7 years agoI've only just installed it but am happy to find a very feature rich webextension to replace Firegestures. I realize there are bugs out of your control, but I am noticing on Mac OS X 10.11 that I do NOT get the context menu as I do a gesture. Perhaps they've already fixed that? Great work, thanks again. Looking forward to living with Foxy Gestures!
