Rated 5 out of 5
by Wingpin, 7 years agoThere is an issue with the Extra features: rocker gestures and wheel gestures. Occasionally, the right-click button will be held down in a tab until the right button is pressed again. This is a problem when trying to scroll, because it will browser zoom in/out when scrolling up/down respectively. This is also a problem in a similar addon called FoxyGestures, but was not a problem in the original FireGestures. With the extra features off, then this add-on is flawless for my use but I really liked rocker gestures.
Currently on the latest stable Firefox release.
Edit: This is actually a conflict between Gesturefy and Zoom Page WE (which I use because it seems that there is no default way to set global zoom in Firefox), which has the option to scroll with right-click and zoom wheel turned on by default. Don't know which app is at fault, because separately they implement the right-click function well. I will leave the original review up in case anyone runs into the same problem, since Zoom Page WE is also a popular add-on.
One "life-hack" I found regarding right-click actions such as wheel and rocker gestures is that I can set my own rocker/wheel gestures in AutoHotKey script and use Gesturefy with the same actions to automatically suppress the right-click context menu. This is advantageous because these actions will work within New Tab page, and other pages where gestures are not permitted.
5-star add-on from me; thanks for your help.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Mutzu, 2 months agoThanks for your great work! I think it's an important missing piece for the usability of Firefox.
I'd really like to use 2-axis Rocker gestures on my phone.
I've described them as X-buttons, as the first touch held(!) represents the centre of an X and the four fields around the X are the click areas for the second touch.
If you are interested, I've written about it at the end of the "Mousepad Gestures" idea thread on Mozilla Connect, but I'm not allowed to provide a link.Developer response

Sounds like a cool idea. Though I think a separate add-on would serve as a better solution than putting this into Gesturefy which was primarily made for desktop PCs. - Rated 5 out of 5by zyb, 2 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18760639, 4 months agoI can't believe I am just discovering this. I love it other than the fact that I am constantly trying to do mouse gestures everywhere else. Is there an equivalent way of doing mouse gestures in Windows 11?
