- Rated 4 out of 5by rei, 3 years agoI had to restart the browser for it to work and the delay after the swype is a bit too much, but I'm glad it works

posted 3 years agoThank you for your feedback. We just did a complete rework. Now there is a new setting that you can use to tweak how your browser jumps back and forth. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13818486, 4 years agooriginal review: 4/5 stars, 18 Oct '20 -
exactly what I needed as I already got used to how Chrome does the same thing, but forward swipe is not working as well, even with high sensitivity & timeout duration. Thank you so much

Hi thank you for the feedback. Can you provide additional details about the problem you're mentioning about the forward swipe? For example, does the problem happen consistently on some specific pages? Can you describe the problem a little more?

The problem is not limited to just one site. I use Twitter, Instagram, Reddit & YouTube and it occurred everywhere. My sensitivity is 20 and timeout range is 2k ms. Only backward jumping worked.
On another note, sometimes scrolling vertically also gets recognised as a horizontal swipe. At several points over the past few days I scrolled down and accidentally went back a bunch of pages. This may be on the extension's part and I may just have to change my sensitivity, although if I do opt to, it will not recognise any of my swipes. Again, thank you for responding.Developer response
posted 4 years agoHmmm, it should be theoretically possible to fix your second note - it is also something that happened to me a few times when I scrolled very long pages from awkward positions (i.e. lying in bed :-P). However, since the latest release, with the introduction of the feedback bar telling you how far you are from a jump, involontary jumps can be easily avoided. The size of the feedback bar can be customized in the settings, and I personally have it all the way up to the max size - that helps alot. However I think it shouldn't be a big deal to measure how far the vertical scroll is with respect to the horizontal one, and avoid jumping if the vertical scroll is bigger. Thanks for the feedback.
With respect to the first issue you're mentioning, that I realize seems to be much worse, I have to run some tests because I never had a similar problem. - Rated 4 out of 5by flip, 5 years agoWorks pretty well. When using with Mac Precision touchpad driver (https://github.com/imbushuo/mac-precision-touchpad) I set the sensibility to 2 and timeout to 150ms and it feels pretty good.
Would be nice if the addon could ignore/reduce sensitivity of swipes when the cursor is hovering a horizontally scrollable iframe (or the entire window).
It would also be good if the addon would detect the platform and disable when running on Mac (when using Firefox Sync across Mac and Windows the addons will sync and enable).Developer response
posted 4 years agoThis is really interesting feedback. Thanks. I will definitely take into account the second thing you're mentioning (disable on Mac). Regarding the first one (the horizontal scroll ignore) I still have to think how to handle that, and if it's actually feasible.
Anyway, thank a lot for the feedback. I created two issues on Github - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15870860, 5 years agoWorks pretty well! Needs an option for showing a left/right array on swipe for visual confirmation like you would get on Chrome OS / OS X. Thanks!
