by Firefox user 14420822, 6 years agoI am day 1 using this add-on and I am super frustrated with the features not available on this one and was available on Firegesture but I am willing to give it a shot. This add-on does NOT have the feature to open links simultaneously with [Ctrl] + [Drawing gesture lines over links] which was super convenient when you are doing web research looking for relevant information. Would love to have it on this add-on. I may find more stuff that FIregesture had and Gesturefy don't.
----------
An year later of using this add-on, I still don't like it but just better than nothing.
Locker Gesture is glitchy, attempts to switch tabs sometimes forced back to the original tab or skips tabs and pops up context menu sometimes.
Just can't get the right tweaks of reaction times and sensitivities of gestures.
The behavior overall is just inconsistent and glitchy.
I am just using this because this is the better one among the worst ones.
MISSING FIREGESTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Cyberknight, 2 months agoI've used this extension since its early days. I'd tried others, but this has evolved a better interface. I have one suggestion: when a conflicting (ambiguous) gesture is found (two equal gestures for different actions), the extension tries the older action first, then tries the next. That could be an actual feature: same gestures should be executed in the order they appear in the list (the gestures would have to be shown as an ordered list for that), maybe adding a "break" option to stop the execution at a certain gesture (e.g., a single gesture could trigger a Save Link and a Save Image, in that order, but if the image was a link, an option could prevent the image from being saved.)

- Rated 5 out of 5by LinusCDE, 3 months agoInitially discovered this feature in Vivaldi and got hooked hard. When I switched to Firefox, it was only thanks to this extension, since I could keep using the gestures I got used to.
I even checked for alternatives and it seems this extension for Firefox is the best one. You can't seemingly do this consistently on Chrome (on Linux at least).
If you love the back swipe gesture on touchpads, this is basically the same but for a mouse (even faster imo). No need setting up very complex gestures. Just as simple back gesture alone makes this extension worth everything.
Personally I use the back gesture (swipe left with mouse right button) and close + restore tab mostly. Though you can add pretty much everything imaginable which I love! - Rated 4 out of 5by R136a1, 3 months ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14716474, 3 months agoThere is one inconvenience, when used for the gesture of the right mouse button, the context menu opens, there is no such problem in the “chrome” browser with this addition. Please make the context menu does not appear with a firefox when it is not needed.
