- 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.

posted 8 years agoHey, if you use Linux or Mac look here:
> 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.
And here: https://github.com/Robbendebiene/Gesturefy/issues/6 - Rated 5 out of 5by Soselo, 8 years agoThis plug-in is as indispensable as an adBlock, and you will really miss it when it doesn't work, like in the latest Nightly versions.
- 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by Haldi, 8 years agoIt works, it has all the features, it has a nice design.... yes...
But it doesn't work on ALL pages. New Tab and Firefox Addon page somehow block it....Developer response
posted 8 years agoHey, please read the addon description. It is an api limitation. Look here for more Information: https://github.com/Robbendebiene/Gesturefy/issues/5 - Rated 5 out of 5by pang_cn, 8 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13447631, 8 years agoSlick, uncomplicated, robust design along the lines of All-in-one Mouse Gestures. Customisation is excellent.
*Add bookmark - I would prefer if it just brought up the standard adding dialogue box instead of just sticking it in 'other bookmarks', perhaps this could be added as an 'advanced' option.
*No 'save image', bookmarks sidebar or downloads manager gesture.
It's a really nice little design :)
Hi, saw your response, no idea how to reply properly so here will have to do! Got it, yes. I had a think about it all and realised it was a bit early to be whinging at you! Thanks. I can't live without mouse gestures and this works just fine! :DDeveloper response
posted 8 years ago*Add bookmark: I know exactly what you mean, but currently there is no way to implement this.
*No 'save image: I'll add this in the next version even if it wont work on some images untill firefox completes the download api
* bookmarks sidebar, downloads manager: sadly both things are not possible - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13447672, 8 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13445946, 8 years agoNot bad ,but can't work on some page on FF57 ,such as NEW TAB PAGE.
还不错,但是不能再火狐57的一些页面使用,譬如新标签页。 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12664081, 8 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13446926, 8 years agoWorking almost fine.
However, gestures cannot be used on new tab or setting tab due to the limitation of Quantum API.
It really sucks because the behavior of gestures is not consistent with every tabs.
Wheel gesture stops switching tabs when it encounters a blank tab.
A blank tab cannot be closed casually with mouse gesture.
Such ridiculous behavior...
I think it's time to stop using firefox.
It was such a great update, thanks.
