    Really need this plugin after switching from Mac OS to Windows and finding out Firefox doesn't do this natively for some stupid reason on window.

    for the most part the plugin works well except it seems extremely sensitive. I often find that it will jump 2 - 3 pages back with one tiny swipe.

    I have turned the sensitivity and responsiveness all the way down and tried to configure it multiple ways and never can get it to stop jumping back so far. Not too sure what could cause this.

    Overall it's worth keeping though! Hopefully some of the bugs and kinks can get worked out in the future.

    Hey, thanks for the feedback!. I'm aware of the problem of multiple pages jumps, but honestly don't know exactly what part of the code to blame. Maybe it depends on the fact that the extension is activated too early on each page,... or that the "do nothing" timeout before jumping should be increased... The next time I can look into it I will run some tests. Anyway, thanks again.

    It was awesome at first, but had to uninstall.
    The way it detects your swipes is by horizontal scrolling, so any time you horizontally scroll on a webpage it takes you back or forward.

    Also doesn't work in the firefox start page

    The purpose of this extension is exactly what you complain about: to jump back and forward when you swipe horizontally. So I'm not sure what you were expecting when you installed it. Did you know that you can adjust the sensitivity of the extention in its settings page so you can tune how much swipe triggers the jump, so that you can still be able to scroll horizontally on pages?

    Moreover, no extension at all works on Firefox' about pages, like about:home, as well as on any site in the firefox.com, mozilla.org and mozilla.com domains. This is for security policy. You can unblock this security restriction at your own risk on these domains by opening a new tab, insert in the URL bar about:config and search for the following preference, and put an empty value inside: "extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains". On about:* pages, however, don't expect any other extension at all to work
