    Best there is. Can't use FF without it. Would be great if it allowed a 'legacy' mode that followed the previous behavior, but not a deal break for me at least.

    Lost all my gestures suddenly with an update and back-ups won't restore. Also am unable to set up new gestures now (right-clicking in the Add New Gesture area doesn't record a gesture). Neat.

    Hi. We're really sorry about that.
    Can you please open an issue on https://github.com/Robbendebiene/Gesturefy/issues
    or if it's similar to this (https://github.com/Robbendebiene/Gesturefy/issues/472), describe your problem there.

    please return the basic gesture detection mechanics to the direction-based one (up down right left) at least as an option. It is very inconvenient to use the new mechanics.

    Hi. 3.0 offers a completely new way of making gestures and we always wanted Gesturefy's gestures to work the way they do now. Try something out and maybe you will like the new art. It allows you to define any shape for a gesture.

    No Warning! Lost All Of My Gestures! The upgrade to 3.0 wiped out all of my settings and configuration. Not even a courtesy backup in a file somewhere. Now Gesturefy will do NOTHING until I spend the time trying to rebuild what I had created over the last couple of years from memory. Thanks for destroying my work.

    Hi.
    We're really sorry about that.
    3.0 offers a completely new way of making gestures, and we can never rule out the possibility of mistakes, but we did a lot of testing in advance to rule out most of them. We never had the case that the settings got lost.
    Please understand that we are humans and have been developing this addon in our spare time for "the last couple of years".

    Why are we forced to choose between left and right click?
    I would like to change page zoom with the left hold and scroll between pages with the right hold, while scrolling the wheel.
    I would also want to be able to close active tabs with right hold and middle click combination.

    This is a great addon but is there any way what-so-ever to deactivate/kill (or delay for 1 second) the firefox right-click context menu (ff 76, win7) that pops up almost every time I use mouse gestures? This context menu really spoils the experience of mouse gestures. (I need to use the right mouse button as I do on other browsers- to keep the same habit across browsers). Thanks.

    Thanks for your reply. With "dom.event.contextmenu.enabled" and "ui.context_menus.after_mouseup" already set to true, I'm still seeing this problem occur at the end of the gesture. Not all of the time. Occurs when the mouse motion stops before I release the right mouse button which is quite often. Windows 7 x64 with FF 76 running 2 additional Addons: uBlockOrigin and CookieQuickManager. Can this context menu be KILLED?
