- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16825582, 4 years agoThe update made it very difficult to use.
I use it because I have no other choice, but I'd like to go back to the old four-way only version.Developer response
posted 4 years agoIf you are using the "Combined" or "Shape Independent" algorithm (see the advanced settings) then version 3 shouldn't have any drawbacks, despite the fact that you might have to re-setup some gestures.
Alternatively you can always go back to an older version: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/gesturefy/versions/ - Rated 5 out of 5by cmn, 4 years agoabsolutely stunning extension, didnt expect much from it but after starting to use gestures in daily routine, its optimized my web browsing experience tenfold - love everything about it!
EDIT: made an inquiry about bookmark functionality in this review and got a helpful response within the next hour - big props to devDeveloper response

Unfortunately add-ons cannot open the Firefox bookmark dropdown. So all the 'link to bookmark' command does is adding the link as a bookmark to the root bookmark folder. - Rated 5 out of 5by IQman, 4 years ago

posted 4 years agoWhy is downloading/using a previous version from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/gesturefy/versions/ not an option for you? The version restrictions are bound to new functionality that Firefox provides and Gesturefy uses. I don't impose them just for fun. - Rated 5 out of 5by Chills Multiplying, 4 years agoBy far, the best of the best Gesture Add-ons I've ever used. Tons of options. Highly customizable. My only complaint is not available on every browser.
I was kind of surprised it's been rated lower than 5 stars. I read through a handful of comments, and have to admit some of the 4 have suggestions I'd like to see too. Some of the two and three stars, offered some sage advice to follow backups with a screenshot.
As far as the 1 star ratings, apparently some users have had identification problems. I haven't noticed a problem with that. If it helps anyone, my deviation is set to 0.15. I have no idea if that was the default setting, or something I changed along the way, but If you're a little lazy about execution, like I am, I'd recommend giving it a try.
Extra sloppy executions still get misidentified, occasionally. To compensate, I separate polar opposite actions from semi-similar movements. My gestures with varying properties to open a link are kind of similar, but all of them are entirely different than my gestures that effect the a tab, or windows state.Developer response
posted 4 years agoThanks for your kind review! Things like this always cheer me up.
Most of the bad reviews are due to the history of Gesturefy.
Version 1.0 got a lot of hate, because new add-ons could not (and still cannot) compete with the old/previous add-ons users were using before Firefox disabled the old extension API.
Other bad reviews for Version 3.0 are related to a decision I made moving away from 4 directions (up, down, right, left) to completely free drawn gestures. At the beginning of the release there was only one matching algorithm (strict) which some existing users didn't like.
I'm glad that most people none the less value free and open source software and adjust their expectations accordingly. - Rated 5 out of 5by マラ, 4 years ago
