📨Latest News
⚠️⚠️⚠️
There is a critical bug in Simple Gesture version 3.34.
The fixed version, 3.34.2, has already been released,
but please uninstall or disable the add-on until it is updated.
I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
⚠️⚠️⚠️

If you are willing to help test the Beta version

⚠️Note
  • This is an add-on for Android.
    You can install this on Windows tablets, but I have not tested it on Windows or other operating systems.
  • Addons cannot work in https://*.mozilla.org etc.
  • Tab gestures don't work because Firefox's API has many issues.

👆The default gestures
(D=Down, U=Up, R=Right, L=Left)
  • D-L: Forward
  • D-R: Back
  • D-R-U: Refresh
  • R-D: Scroll to the top
  • R-U: Scroll to the bottom
  • L-D-R: Close tab
  • L-D-R-U-R: Open settings pages

💡Tips
  • You can double-tap with these steps.
    1:Touch a finger.
    2:Keep the first finger and double-tap with another finger.
  • If this does not work on some AMP pages, install Redirect AMP to HTML to solve the problem. (#66)
  • Firefox for Android does not have about:home 😢.
