>For MacOS & Linux users: Use left or middle mouse button due to the different right click/context menu behaviour (see this bug)- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 10233709, 7 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Rhamphoryncus, 7 years agoNo "open image in current tab" option. I use it for imgur, steam screenshots, etc.
Doesn't work on blank tabs, addon listing or configuration pages, or bizarrely this exact addons.mozilla.org page.Developer response
posted 7 years ago"open image in current tab" is already implemented and will be avialble in the next version.
It does not work on these pages because of the new API security reasons (follow the addon description: "Limitations" for more information) - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 6329431, 7 years agoI hope the creator of this addon could solve right click problem for Mac user. Not just change our habits of right click. :(
- Rated 3 out of 5by kyuss, 7 years agoI'm using Linux Mint and can not get this to work for some reason. I tried changing the gesture button to left, right, and middle and it refuses to do anything. I have had other gesture add ons work fine, any reason why this won't work? Any help is appreciated.

posted 7 years agoMaybe you only tried it on this mozilla addon page, about: pages or new tab page? It should work with left and middle mouse button on every other page just fine (at least I never had a problem on my linux distro) - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13474759, 7 years agoThe UI is nice. Too bad about the API limitations. Could you please add a gesture to close the current tab? I know that there is a close window gesture, but closing tabs is a much more common practice.

posted 7 years agoI agree, thats why it already exisits, it is called "Remove Tab" :) - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13472315, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by weixia, 7 years agoOn Linux,when the gesture button is set to "Right", just double-click the right mouse button to bring up the context menu .The author adds this option to those who are accustomed to the right mouse button
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13471915, 7 years agoNo entiendo cómo no es posible ser mejor de lo que ya existía. Firegestures, era mucho más completa en posibilidad de gestos y, además, MUY IMPORTANTE, hacía uso de scripts, que ampliaban las funcionalidades a nuevos gestos.

posted 7 years agoHey. Unfortunately it is true, this is not FireGesture. There are some API limitations for Firefox 57 and above. Read the Addon description for more informations.
And because of your request, look here: https://github.com/Robbendebiene/Gesturefy/issues/58 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12841763, 7 years agoThanks for this smooth and nice gesture addon :) Would love a gesture option for 'copy link location' in future. Overall a solid gesture for Quantum and thanks again!
Edit: Thanks for adding copy link URL in latest update! and it's sad to see ignorant users giving negative rating and negative review, only because of Webextension limitation to work on internal pages. Totally not developers fault and I hope you will always motivated to share this awesome extension despite those ignorant users to read description :) - Rated 3 out of 5by Headhunter, 7 years agoFar below the possibilities of DragIt (formerly Drag & Go).
Where is the possibility to put any text in the search bar
With subsequent selection of the search engine? - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12956000, 7 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13470674, 7 years agoWorks great. Any chance that gestures would work on blank pages too?
Developer response
posted 7 years agoSadly no, but you can change the new tab page to a website via extensions like "New Tab Override". - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 5671868, 7 years agoThis good replacement for FireGestures, but I need one very important to me function. Please, please, PLEASE, when I make a search of the selected text by gesture, not do it just by one of search engine, give me a list of my installed search engines. I always need a search on various websites, not just a google or somethings. This was in FireGestures, it's a killerfeature to me, I can't use Chrome or New Firefox without it. Thanks.

Also note that:
