Review by Lee
Rated 3 out of 5
by Lee, 3 years agoit works, but it feels more like a concept. Even if I swipe the smallest amount, it brings me back 2 pages. Not a single browser does that, and I don't understand why this extension does.
tldr: It would be functional if it didn't bring you back two pages at all.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Dimitri, a year agoIt's a bit finicky to find the right sensitivity but it works as promised in the description and for me is essential for Firefox on Linux.

- Rated 3 out of 5by hackerb9, 2 years agoI really wanted to like this extension because the author is very transparent about "read all" permissions, why it is required and why this extension doesn't actually read your pages.
Unfortunately, it worked only erratically with Debian GNU/Linux (Gnome 3.38). No amount of fiddling with the "sensitivity" control helped.
I found a better solution is to install a gesture extension from extensions.gnome.org. (I'm using "Extended Gestures" because "Gesture Improvements" requires Gnome ≥4.0) . - Rated 5 out of 5by kregling, 3 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by YMeC, 3 years agoWasn't useful for me. Everytime I would swipe back I would go back two pages, or the tab I'm currently on would just suddenly reset and would look like a tab that was just opened.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Jimmy James, 3 years agoDeactivating it when zoomed in would help a lot cos when you're pinching around the zoomed website with 2 fingers it always goes back.
The feature that you can go back multiple pages with one longer swipe is pretty cool actually but without any visual feedback (like that moving arrow on Chrome), it's not so easy to control the swipe back without fearing you're going too far or in general even knowing how far to swipe until it actually goes back. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12593937, 3 years agoLike other users, If I swipe too far, firefox goes backward or forward 2 pages. Love to see it give a feel of smoothing like Edge browser in win 11.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Oztaco, 3 years agoGreat extension, works as advertised. One suggestion: if I am zoomed into a page with a touchpad, if I try scrolling around the page, the extension triggers. It might be helpful to disable these gestures when pinched into the page
- Rated 4 out of 5by Jon G, 3 years agoWorks pretty well.
The only problem that I have is that it interferes with XML rendering. Most people will never notice, but developers and techies will. I think it has something to do with add-ons that inject elements into pages. I believe this add-on needs to do that in order to work. Maybe there's a way to stop it from doing that on application/xml pages - Rated 5 out of 5by AbbieDoobie, 3 years agoWorks great for what amounts to a work around. Hopefully Firefox can actually fix this, there is an open issue tracking this.
Only request would be a two finger swipe down to refresh. Doesn't take away a star though, this works just as described. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14304100, 4 years agoIt works, but I wish I could adjust the sensitivity. If I swipe too far it goes back 2 pages and I don't want that. Is there any way to change the sensitivity?
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13114404, 4 years agoBy all means, this is by far the best add-on I use on my computer with my wireless trackpad. I have a Logitech T651 trackpad for my iMac and using this addon helps me enjoy the swiping experience on Firefox with having to use Safari (which I dislike). I am glad I found it on the Firefox add-on website. I had to Google search " Firefox return two finger swipe" in order to find this gem. Thanks 🔥🦊

- Rated 3 out of 5by pca1987, 4 years agoWorks great but you mention in the description it doesn't need any permissions, however it asks for "Access your data for all websites" which is pretty much everything? I am confused.
- Rated 5 out of 5by TheRealBaka, 4 years agoThe only working solution I found, thanks a ton for this!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Aerz, 4 years agoI don't know why this gestures are enabled by default on macOS but not on Windows or Linux.
Would be nice to have a visual icons on the sides to know when it's working.
Thank you.
