This addon is very useful
I have an suggestion, is it possible to open and run javascript on a link for example :
SimpleGesture.openExe('google.com','javascript');
And if it's possible how much deep can it goes?
for example:
SimpleGesture.openExe('google.com',
'SimpleGesture.openExe("facebook.com","javascript")');
And there is a problem with simple gesture command it doesn't care about javascript delay like setTimeout or if or... for example:
setTimeout(SimpleGesture.doCommand('close'),5000); or SimpleGesture.doCommand('close');
both close current tab immediately
is this a limitation of addon or it's just a bug that happens for me
Thanks

It's not working due to Mozilla's signature policies, are you going to sign the addon?

That's a good idea.
I will add SimpleGesture.open(url, options) in the next version. (This may take some time.)
for example
SimpleGesture.open('google.com', {
javascript: `alert('hello');`,
inNewTab: true, // default value is true
active: true // default value is true
});
> And if it's possible how much deep can it goes?
Sorry, this may not work in deep.
> setTimeout(SimpleGesture.doCommand('close'),5000);
Try this :)
setTimeout(() => { SimpleGesture.doCommand('close'); }, 5000);
Thanks
UPDATE 2018/12/04
I add a new API "SimpleGesture.open" in version 2.11.
(I changed the name of option from "javascript" to "code", like the "browser.tabs.executeScript" API.)
see
https://github.com/utubo/firefox-simple_gesture/wiki/SimpleGesture.open
Thank you for your suggestion
>SimpleGesture.open("google.com", { code: 'alert("hello");'});
Fix "google.com" to "https://www.google.com"
I thought about adding "https://" automatically, but I stopped.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Arshia, a month agoI like this extension. In the new version description it says “New: Support 2 or more fingers” but I can’t find this feature. I would like to set two finger touch to open a link in a new tab like safari on ipados. Is this possible? I a using double right now for this. So where is this 2 finger support?
Edit: Thank You. You added the feature I was looking forDeveloper response
posted 24 days agoOh, sorry.
I supported two-finger swipes, but forgot to support two-finger taps.
Might take some time.
I create a new issue.

(But 2 or more fingers double-tap is not yet supported.)

- Rated 4 out of 5by Чувак, 4 months agoPlease add gesture for switching tabs. And maybe add two finger swipes.

The API provided by Firefox is unstable, but you can use it by turning on “Enable experimental features” on the settings page.
> And maybe add two finger swipes.
Sorry, it will take some time to work on this.
I'll add it to the issues list.

- Rated 5 out of 5by krix, a year agouseful and well-implemented add-on. Finally gifts FF-Androud users a nice UI experience, after Moz decided to cripple the UI some years ago.
Why does it need clip-board access though?Developer response
posted a year agoThis needs clip-board access though for custom gestures (=user script).
I will summarize the permissions.
Thank you for your review

I done. (see About Extensions) - Rated 4 out of 5by Dan, a year agoIt's a useful extension but there's one issue. If you have one tab open and you close it with a gesture, that tab freezes. It doesn't open the homepage.

- Rated 4 out of 5by islisis, a year agoVery nice addon, I would continue to use it if all of the notifications including timeouts could be hidden.

I fixed to hide the timeouts when 'Diaplay Command' is disabled in v3.12.2.
Thank you for your review. - Rated 5 out of 5by Whatzet2U, a year agoIt'll do just about whatever you want it to. Reaching out to dev to request edge swipe support. Would provide just a bit more for my purposes.
