- Rated 3 out of 5by Matthew Miller, 8 years agoI'm giving this three stars because I appreciate the effort and I know it's not the extension-writers' fault. Realistically, though, this is 1 star compared to FireGestures and what we had before.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13360867, 8 years agoBasically, it doesn't work on a Mac. Some success on PC, but if you use a Mac you're out of luck. Don't waste your time.

posted 8 years agoHey, that is a known issue, you can read about that in the addon description. You can use the left or middle mouse button. (Change this in the settings) - Rated 4 out of 5by Ben, 8 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13462133, 8 years agoI updated to this addon when Firefox updated to 57. It certainly is not what I expected. Since I can't use the right mouse button (I'm using Ubuntu) I have to use the left (the middle doesn't work despite what it says). This means I can no longer select text to copy/paste from a webpage. I hope fire gestures updates to work with FF57

- Rated 5 out of 5by jsyemail, 8 years agoone feature missing, i need a function ( close other's tab, just keep current tab )
Developer response
posted 8 years agoThe feature is there. Look at "Remove other tabs" -> Remove all tabs except of the current tab and pinned tabs.
Or do you want to close the pinned tabs too? - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13361995, 8 years agoПо сравнению с FireGestues это аддон какой-то не функциональный.

> For MacOS & Linux users: Use left or middle mouse button due to the different right click/context menu behaviour (see this bug ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1360278 ))
Does it only work on certain pages like about:addon or newtab? Then look here:
> The addon does not work on https://addons.mozilla.org, pure svg pages and internal pages like about:newtab, about:addons or other addon option pages.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13456942, 8 years agoDoes not work at all on Mac OS 10.9.5
Hey, please read the description:
> For MacOS & Linux users: Use left or middle mouse button due to the different right click/context menu behaviour (see this bug ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1360278 ))
I DID try left, right and middle scroll wheel. DOES NOT WORK. Had to revert back to FF 56 and use Fire Gestures.
UPDATE - literally ten minutes later the add-one started to work!!!! But works intermittently. Not reliable
UPDATE - Works 100% now. One thing missing. Restore window size! After maximizing window, I often want to restore it to previous size. At present can only maximize or minimize. FEATURE REQUEST! Do this and I'll give 5 stars! Thanks for being responsiveDeveloper response

Update: thanks for your updates, because of your request look here https://github.com/Robbendebiene/Gesturefy/issues/112 - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12214374, 8 years agoWHEN OTHERS SAY DOESN'T WORK ON ALL PAGES, THEY MEAN IT. So when you think its not working at all, try other webpages.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13456652, 8 years agoFast & customisable. On screen feedback is so helpful.
Just the perfect addon, as I ue to to 'Scroll to top' [Right button swipe-up] & 'Reload' [Anti-clock wise swirl] constantly. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13455515, 8 years agoPros:
+ intuitive setup
+ unlike Foxy Gestures you can set a gesture to close the window
Cons:
- unlike FireGestures, the gestures don't work untill current tab has partially loaded
- unlike FireGestures, the bloody thing doesn't work on some tabs at all (such as the one I'm writing this at or a new tab) - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13455022, 8 years agoI would be nice if the extension somehow let user know, that right mouse btn can not be used. Otherwise looks good.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12624391, 8 years agoFiregestureから乗り換えテスト中。
自分の設定していたジェスチャーが、ほぼ使えているので、満足しています。 - Rated 4 out of 5by prosper, 8 years agoI like this extension.but it can not be used on many pages, such as Component Manager Pages, Extensions; can it add more actions?such as Save As, Restart. . .
- Rated 3 out of 5by Jollemj, 8 years agoAmazing addon to replace my All-in-One Gestures. But there's one feature I really miss and use all the time:
Being able to "Draw" with random gestures over multiple links and then just end with a specific gesture to open all these in new tabs. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13450403, 8 years agodoes not work on settings and new/empty tabs, thus useless for me :(
(it can be enabled on mozilla.org pages by setting privacy.resistFingerprinting.block_mozAddonManager=true, but "about:" and new tabs still don't work) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13450186, 8 years agoVery useful addon. Would get 6 stars if it would offer to assign separate functions depending where the gesture starts.
Example:
* Rightclick-Down on a link -> Open in new tab
* Rightclick-Down on a free area -> Close current tab
* Rightclick-Down on a bitmap -> Download to customizable destination
Also, please consider allowing to combine gestures with modifier keys (SHIFT/ALT/WIN/CTRL) and left/right mouse button on a case by case basis.
