Rated 4 out of 5
by theFlash2K5, 8 years agoThe add-on is almost to the point where I'd consider it a worthy successor to FireGestures. It's not as feature rich, but that's not the fault of the dev - it just won't be able to be as feature rich when Mozilla is limiting what the new API's can do.
That being said, there are a few things that have prevented me from switching over to this add-on before I decide to upgrade to FF57.
I think it needs a little more options for customization. For instance, it lets you directly save an image or bring up the save image dialogue, but it can be a little annoying to deal with. Like a few other add-ons, it defaults to the 'downloads' directory, which isn't what I want. I'd rather have the option to map a mouse gesture to either "save page" or "save image as" instead of "save image." It's a small gripe, but a function I use quite often, so it's a sticking point for me.
Otherwise, I like the direction the add-on is going and I'm keeping an eye on it's development. Given how much FF57 is going to change, I don't plan on upgrading right away, so hopefully waiting and watching will be a good chance for add-ons to iron out and add in new features that can help restore some of the old functionality that we'll be losing when the new API's hit.
ETA: Read the dev's comments below. Good to know! I figured it was probably issues on Mozilla's end. With such a big change coming, there's bound to be issues. Thanks for the heads up.

posted 8 years agoI've already opened an issue on Bugzilla about the "save image as" issue. That is a problem with Firefox, not the addon. See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1395207

What you think we're running here, some kind of charity?!
When you came to see the boss, did he have a sign on his desk saying "Fat Tony's Make A Degenerate's Wish Foundation"?!?! No, of course it didn't you schmuck. Do you remember what it did say? "DON'T FUCK WITH FAT TONY" didn't it, you simpleton.
What kind of question even is that? You insult Fat Tony with a question like that. Which is not a smart thing to do. In fact it's a very stupid thing to do. The only thing stupider would be not paying Fat Tony his money.
If you don't want a visit from Jittery John, I suggest you pay Fat Tony on time, and don't ask any more stupid questions. Incase nobody aint told you, you DON'T want a visit from Jittery John.
