- 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!
- Rated 2 out of 5by Zoidberg, 7 years agoOn some pages the gesture mode seems to activate itself automatically and you keep making one gesture.
Also, I haven't found the option to "roll over" the tabs.Developer response
posted 7 years agoCan you describe your issue on GitHub so I can try to debug it? And what does "roll over" the tabs mean? - Rated 5 out of 5by Diversant_, 7 years agoПрекрасно выполняет свои функции, имеет очень удобный интерфейс для настройки
- Rated 5 out of 5by Speedkore, 7 years agoComing from legacy firegestures too, this is a very good replacement!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13193937, 7 years agoThis works on frames, gesturefy doesn't. Both are webext compatible and good except for this problem.
- Rated 4 out of 5by kevingoris, 7 years agohad to use the developer beta in nightly 57.
only it wont work on the blank page that i sometime open by mistake.
And wont work on this addons.mozilla.org (and dont know wich else)
Hope there is a work around for these. Developer response
posted 7 years agoIf you are using developer or nightly, please switch to Foxy Gestures beta channel. The settings page in 1.0.6 broke due to some internal changes in Firefox.- Rated 5 out of 5by d4niel_p, 7 years agoThanks for developing this. Any chance for mouse chording gestures? (even right-left click and left-right click for back/forward would be enough).
- Rated 4 out of 5by ethsen, 7 years agoNot a bad replacement for FireGestures. Only issue is it doesn't honor browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent,FALSE so all new tabs end up opening beside the current tab, not at the end of tab row. Wish it was consistent with the rest of the browser.

posted 7 years agoThere is no WE API to read from about:config settings. Log an issue on GitHub and I can add preference to implement the behaviour you want. - Rated 5 out of 5by Matth, 7 years agoPrevious user of FireGestures after it broke up with latest nightly I tested this one. Really great addon I like it a lot.
Too bad it doesn't work on addons.mozilla.org and new tab page but it's a web extension limitation. (For the later, thankfully, this addon enable you to change your new tab page)
Please note that version 1.0.6 was not saving changes to settings. Installed 1.07 beta and all is good. - Rated 5 out of 5by Eduardo, 7 years agoI was an avid user of the previous gestures extension. Foxy Gestures is a great replacement that works as expected.
I wrote a couple of gestures, so I'm porting them to Foxy Gestures. - Rated 5 out of 5by Alexnader, 8 years agoAll of new mouse gestures extensions are impossible to use, just stubmle into new empty tab and your workflow is ruined. This is unacceptable, usefull extensions is the only reason why I'm using Firefox instead of chrome.
Mozilla is killing their browser. This is extremly sad and heartbreaking. - Rated 5 out of 5by Alexey Murz Korepov, 8 years agoThanks for developing! At now I can't use it in Linux with Right button - issue about this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1360278
But hope this will be fixed before Firefox 57 release. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12355954, 8 years agoGreat job, very usable and performant. Restoring a tab keeps its history and position on the tab bar, which is very helpful.
Could you please add a function for opening a new tab? :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Access Firefox Project, 8 years agoI like it a lot.
It offers some of the functionality of Tab Mix Plus that I was worried about losing such as Duplicate Tab and Undo Close. It's easy to customize gestures and add new ones, and another good thing about this add-on is that it'll still work when Firefox 57 is released.
Thanks for developing it.
